Ingredients
– 2 sirloin steaks, each 1 inch thick
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Steak seasoning or kosher salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons butter or herbed butter
Instructions
1-Grilling sirloin steak is simpler than it seems, and following these steps will help you master how to grill sirloin steak for flavor that’s unbeatable. Start by letting the steak reach room temperature for even cooking, which takes about 30-40 minutes. This basic tip ensures your steak cooks uniformly without any tough spots.
2-Once ready, rub the steaks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season them generously with steak seasoning or kosher salt and pepper. Preheat your grill to high heat, around 500ยฐF, to get that ideal sear. Place the steaks on the grill at a 45-degree angle and cook for 2 minutes to start building those classic grill marks.
3-Next, rotate the steaks 90 degrees and cook for another 2 minutes to create a cross-hatch pattern. Flip them over and repeat the process on the other side for even browning. Reduce the heat to medium-low and grill for an additional 4-6 minutes until you reach medium-rare, aiming for an internal temperature of 135ยฐF as measured by a meat thermometer.
4-After grilling, top the steaks with 2 tablespoons of butter or herbed butter, then cover loosely with foil and let them rest for 5 minutes. This rest period is crucial as it lets the juices redistribute, making your steak even more tender. For best results with tips for cooking tender grilled sirloin steak, remember that using a meat thermometer prevents overcooking and keeps things juicy.
