Rosemary Garlic Butter Steak

Today I’m sharing one of our favorite recipes for Rosemary Garlic Butter Steak. 

We are using a 3 inch thick Sirloin Steak and searing it over medium-high heat. 

This steak can be served rare, medium rare or medium well done.

You can also use fillet, ribeye or t-bone if you like in replace of sirloin.

Just take note of the different cooking times as I will explain more below.

This recipe works very well served alongside some sauteed mushrooms and mini potatoes. However if your on a keto diet of some kind asparagus can be replaced for the potatoes.

HOW TO COOK SIRLOIN STEAK MEDIUM RARE

Sirloin steak is best served medium rare, in order to cook it that way you will want to sear it for 6 minutes on one side then flip it over once and sear it for another 5 minutes on the other.

HOW TO COOK STEAK 

If you prefer your steak medium cooked, then you will want to sear it for 7 minutes on one side and 4-5 on the other. Always let your steak sit off the heat for 5 minutes to rest before serving!

Sirloin steak is allot like fillet and is considered a prime steak and is most people’s favorite cut.

While mine is a t-bone which takes a bit longer to cook.

Want to try my “Rosemary Garlic Roasted Mini Potatoes”? you will find that recipe below too. If you were to order something like this in the restaurant you are looking at minimum $50 a person.

However preparing this at home is simple and can save you a lot of money.

I just love the way the rosemary and garlic butter flavors the steak, it melts in your mouth and to be honest I have yet to try something this good in the restaurants. 

So if your thinking of preparing this for a loved  for some kind of special occasion then you can’t go wrong with this recipe.

The trick to cooking the best steak is to use ample butter, you are going to be basting the steak in the butter while it cooks. Giving it depth of flavor and also helping to make it moist and juicy.

The second trick is to season the steak generously on both sides prior to cooking with salt and pepper. If you follow those two tips alone you are sure to prepare the best steak ever.

Steak cooking times vary based on the cut: Always cook your steak over medium-high heat, searing it on each side only once. Turning the steak often sometimes leads to a overcooked and tough steak.

HOW SIRLOIN STEAK

  • Sirloin Steak: Cook for 6 minutes on one side and 4-5 on the other for a medium rare steak. Up the cooking time by one minute to have a medium steak.
  • Ribeye: Cook for 5 minutes on one side and 3 on the other for a medium rare steak
  • Fillet: Cook for 4 minutes on one side and 3 on the other for a medium rare steak
  • T-Bone: Cook for 8 minutes on one side and 4-5 on the other for a medium rare steak 

I will never understand why it’s so darn expensive to order steak at a restaurant when you can make one just as good at home for a fraction of the cost.

Just be sure to source a organic cut of beef those tend to taste the best.

What is your favorite cut of steak? and seasoning mixture? I would love to hear about it in the comments below.

West Coast Cedar Plank Salmon

I’m finally ready to reveal my family’s favorite recipe for my grilled “West Coast Cedar Plank Salmon”. 

CAN CEDAR PLANK SALMON BE COOKED IN OVEN

Yes, as long as you soak the plank in water for a minute of two hours prior. Just make sure you keep an eye on it!

ARE CEDAR PLANKS FOR SALMON REUSABLE

Yes, if you properly care for them. Then you can get a couple uses out of the planks, which will save you money in the long run. Care for them buy always soaking in water for a minimum of two hours prior to cooking and washing off well at the end. 

This recipe has been a secret in my family for sometime and I had to get a couple people’s approval to reveal it here.

If you have ever tried fresh smoked salmon which tastes like salmon and a candy all in one.

Then you are sure to taste the resemblance here.

One of my favorite cooking shows just started and we are now in Season 5. Can you guess what it is?

It’s MasterChef Canada, where 21 home cooks are completing for title of Canada’s best home chef.

I just love this show because it highlights the home cook and gives them the chance to complete to becomes Canada’s next master chef. 

Proving you do not have to go to school to become a chef! 

The first challenge was for each chef to create a signature dish that represents them.

Some people choose ingredient that represent there home town/province.

While others choose ingredients that represented their roots and then some went beyond their own roots and cooked something totally unexpected.

One lady was from Nova Scotia, Canada used blueberries because Nova Scotia has been named the wild blueberry capital of Canada. 

While another lady made the oh so popular peruvian ceviche, but failed to cook it throughout and was sent home in the first round.

 

The dish that interested me the most was cooked by a man named Jonathan. He made a “Ghost Pepper Stew Chicken” with rice and peas along with a mange apple slaw.

A dish that reminded him of Trinidad where he was from. I definitely want to find the recipe for that, so if anyone knows of one please send it my way 🙂

So this got me thinking if i was in this competition what would I make? Well being from British Columbia, I would definitely use fresh Salmon and make my all time favorite “Cedar Planked Salmon”.

Lucky everyone in my family understands my passion for blogging and cooking. So here it is, my family’s secret recipe for the most mouth watering Cedar Salmon.

Made with just a few simple ingredients of fresh garlic, powdered garlic, pepper, medium soya sauce, worcestershire sauce, olive oil and brown sugar.

Your soon to see why this recipe has been kept a secret this long.

HOW TO CEDAR PLANK SALMON

Truthfully though the secret is in the marinade.

So be sure to marinade this fish in a ziplock bag or in a sealed contactor for a minimum of 30 minutes to lock in maximum flavor.

Once that part is done the rest is a cinch to pull together, simply remove the fish from the marinade and sprinkle it with a pinch of salt “less is best” because the soya sauce has enough.

Then season with pepper and cover generously with brown sugar.

Do not skip any of these steps, the brown sugar is critical to giving it that caramelized candy flavor.

I will throw a few peppers on the grill around the same time and sometime asparagus. Just make sure you brush everything entirely with olive oil to prevent from burning and then flipping once.

Also the veggies will need to be removed before the salmon so keep an eye on them.

Now let me ask you, if you were on Masterchef Canada. What ingredient would you bring that represents where you are from? And what dish would you have made? I would love to hear about it in the comments below.
