Ingredients

- •½ tsp dried rosemary ($0.25)
- •Thyme, Dried(3g)

Instructions
- 1Pat the sirloin steaks dry with paper towels and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes while you prepare the seasoning blend.
- 2In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, thyme, paprika, mustard powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
- 3Rub all sides of the steaks evenly with vegetable oil, then coat generously with the seasoning mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.
- 4Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes until shimmering.
- 5Working in batches if needed to avoid crowding, place the steaks in the hot skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side without moving them, until a golden brown crust forms.
- 6Flip the steaks and cook for another 3–4 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F for medium-rare, using a meat thermometer inserted horizontally into the thickest part.
- 7Transfer the cooked steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
- 8Divide the steaks evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm, cool to room temperature before sealing, then refrigerate for up to 4 days.
