Equipment

  • gallon-sized Ziploc bag
  • 12" cast iron skillet
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 1-2 pounds sirloin steak
  • 1 cup avocado oil high smoke-point oil
  • 1/2 cup red wine or red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons A1 steak sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt fine
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Expell as much air as possible. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Remove the steak from the bag and transfer to a cutting board. Allow to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will allow the meat to relax.
  • Sear in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with butter, basting it as it sears. Sear about 5 minutes on each side, or until an internal thermometer reaches your desired temperature.
  • Allow the steak to rest on a clean cutting board for 5 minutes before cutting and serving. This gives the juices time to redistribute in the meat.

Notes

This makes enough marinade for up to 2 steaks. Nutrition information accounts for 1 pound of steak.
