To cook two sirloins with the goal of medium rare, I used the below process which I’ve learned, generally, from this subreddit. Super happy with how these turned out. I salted 3 hr in advance. I used a wire rack and put these in the oven at 250 F, until the steaks rose to around 110 F internal. I let them sit for 5-10 min at room temperature, patted dry, got a pan ripping hot. I pan seared for 2 min each side with grape seed oil (high smoke point), rotating every 30 seconds to get a nice sear with tongs. At the end of the second minute, I flipped, reduced the heat slightly (so the added butter wouldn’t burn too much), and added butter/fresh thyme. Before the second flip, I rendered the fat while the heat reduced. Anything you would have done differently?

    What do you mean by “before the second flip, I rendered the fat…”?
