How to Make Florentine Ranch Steak
Florentine ranch steak is a delicious dish that combines the flavors of Italy and America. Here's how you can make it at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs flank or sirloin steak
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Garlic powder
- Dried thyme
- Olive oil
- Butter
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Season the flank or sirloin steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3. Mix together garlic powder and dried thyme in a small bowl.
4. Rub the garlic-thyme mixture all over the steak, making sure it's well coated.
5. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and let it heat up.
6. Once the skillet is hot, place the steak in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust has formed.
7. After searing, transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 145°F for medium-rare.
8. Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
9. While the steak is resting, melt butter in the same skillet that was used to cook the steak.
10. Slice the florentine ranch steak into 1-inch thick slices and serve with the garlic-thyme butter sauce.
Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak before serving to ensure it's cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- You can also add some red wine to the skillet while searing the steak for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve with crusty bread or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
