Ingredients
- 2 (5 ounce) boneless sirloin steaks
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 ½ tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 1 dash hot pepper sauce
- 1 teaspoon cold butter, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Place each steak between two sheets of heavy plastic (or inside a resealable freezer bag) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound each steak with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Discard the plastic and generously season steaks with salt and pepper.
- Make the barbecue butter sauce: Combine beef broth, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and another pinch of pepper in a bowl. Add cold butter but do not stir.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke, about 1 minute. Place steaks into the pan and sear for 45 to 60 seconds on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- Pour barbecue butter sauce into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir occasionally until butter is melted and incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- Spoon barbecue butter sauce over steaks to serve.

Very quick and easy. Excellent flavor. I screwed up and bought round steak, and even though I pounded it, I think it was a little on the tough side. Sirloin would have been much better. I served it with new potatoes, and I will definitely try again with a sirloin.
This recipe is dynamite. So easy, delicious, fast and cheap. I used top round as Chef John did in the video, and swapped out A1 for the BBQ sauce in the pan sauce. It was a hit!
Easy to prepare a quick weeknight meal. I was out of beef broth, so I substituted chicken broth. Per other reviews, made more pan sauce for leftovers. I didn’t get my steaks as flat as chef John, so I cooked them 2 min per side. I guess these are 2 minute steaks, lol. It’s a keeper. Thanks chef John!
Chef John was right, the sauce is what makes it. Good way to use a sirloin steak.
My daughter’s 11th birthday is today during the coronavirus critical CA stay home period. She asked for a sweet steak and mashed potatoes, which I thought was weird bc she’s not a meat eating girl. I didn’t have beef broth so I used organic chicken broth plus liquid aminos as suggested online. I doubled the bbq sauce as some recommended in the reviews, and she LOVED it!
Perfect. Really nothing else to add. Simple and perfect.
Removed an ingredient due to food allergies but recipe was solid !
This was good for a quick and easy meal.
I pretty much doubled this, and seasoned with McCormick’s Nature’s Seasoning which is my go to. I have to say this is one we raved about. I seer my steaks with a little bit extra butter in the pan, but I think that just heightened the flavor of the sauce, which is thin and begged to be sopped up in crusty bread or poured over some cubed potatoes.
I served over brown rice with asparagus. I made as is, but had to leave on simmer in the sauce til the fam got home – about 30 mins – and did not get too tough. Minute steak is not meant to be the most tender steak, it’s about the flavor. Chopped over rice with the sauce my boyfriend said it was delicious, and he is a steak snob. Great budget and simple dinner with staple ingredients usually on hand. I like to keep beef bullion on hand incase I’m out of beef broth. Thanks Chef John!
Pretty good way to fix a minute steak.
I made the recipe as written. I was surprised how good it was. The steak was tender and tasty. I bought a small sirloin about 1.7lbs and cut it in 3 pieces. This way I had 3 thick pieces. So pounding them to 1/4″ really breaks the meat down so that it’s nice and tender .
No changes! We all loved it! Next time I’ll make more sauce. It was delicious with baked potatoes and Brussels Sprouts.
Super easy, super quick, 15 minutes from start to table. Delicious again Chef John
This sauce is perfect…just a light barbeque flavor. I cooked the sauce a little longer and reduced it. I also used the Steak Using the Fast-Flip Method recipe for cooking my top sirloin steak before adding this sauce. It was melt in your mouth delicious!
My husband loved it! The steaks really only take a minute on each side and they were tender.
Perfect quick and flavorful weeknight meal!
Delicious!!!
Delicious! Try Maple Bacon flavoured BBQ sauce (got mine from M&M Meats). I also used homemade beef broth and made rice made with beef broth to serve with. Kids loved it!
Making this recipe for a second time. hope it turns out as well as the first. absolutely perfect as is. My boyfriend loved it!
This was really good. I love how easy it is to prepare. I had 6 small steaks so I doubled the sauce. It was ‘t really necessary as I had extra sauce left over. The only thing I did differently was after the steaks were cooked and the sauce was reduced I put the steaks into the sauce to heat up a bit more. Thanks for the recipe.
