Ingredients
Instructions
- Dry the steak with a paper towel.
- Rub both sides of the steak with oil and place in a flameproof dish.
- Set the dish close under a very hot broiler and rapidly brown both sides of the steak.
- Season each side with coarse salt and thyme or herb blend, then brush with soft butter.
- Finish cooking in the oven at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until desired doneness is reached.
- Remove the steak to a carving board and let rest.
- Spoon fat out of the baking dish.
- Pour in beef bouillon or dry wine and boil over high heat, scraping up the concentrated juices.
- When the liquid is syrupy, remove from heat, swirl in the final butter, and pour over the steak.
- Serve garnished as desired, perhaps with mashed potatoes for decoration.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, choose a well-marbled sirloin steak to enhance flavor and tenderness. If you don't have beef bouillon, dry red wine works as a great substitute. Ensure your broiler is preheated and close to the steak for even cooking. Letting the steak rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier final product.
Serving Suggestions
This broiled roast steak is perfect served with mashed potatoes, which complement the rich flavors beautifully. For a fresh contrast, pair it with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables. A robust red wine enhances the meal, making it ideal for special occasions or a cozy dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a preheated oven at 250°F until warmed through, or use a skillet on low heat, adding a splash of broth to maintain moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to determine the steak's doneness?
Using a meat thermometer is the most accurate way to check doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F. Remember that the temperature will rise slightly while resting, so remove it from heat a few degrees early.
Can I use other cuts of steak for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute other cuts like ribeye or filet mignon, but cooking times may vary based on thickness and fat content. Always adjust your cooking time to achieve your preferred doneness.
What should I do if I don't have a broiler?
If you lack a broiler, you can achieve similar results using a high-temperature grill or a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop. Just ensure to sear each side well before finishing in the oven.
