This steak is juicy and smoky with just the right amount of heat. Plus, it couldn’t be easier to make. It’s a definite go-to because it is simply delicious and can be prepared in no time.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds sirloin, top chuck, or flat iron cuts
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil with the spices and sea salt. Rub mixture over both sides of the steaks. Marinate 20-30 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook steaks on each side for 10 minutes or until instant-read thermometer indicates 135-140°F for medium-rare.
  3. Let the steaks sit 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before slicing and plating. Refrigerate leftovers.

Notes

Double the recipe and serve leftovers with Ratatouille. Remove steak from refrigerator 30 minutes before you plan to serve dinner. Reheat leftover Ratatouille. (You can serve the steak room temperature so it doesn’t overcook or if you prefer it on the warmer side, heat it up with the Ratatouille.) Place steak on a platter and pour the warm Ratatouille over the steaks. Serve with brown rice and a simple green salad.
