Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 sirloin steaks (6–8 ounces each)
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Liquid and Oil:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant herb-infused elixir by whisking olive oil with minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, zesty lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Submerge sirloin steaks completely in the aromatic marinade within a sealed container or plastic bag, ensuring thorough coating. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow flavors to penetrate the meat.
- For grilling: Fire up the grill to 400-450°F, creating medium-high heat zones. Position steaks and cook 4-6 minutes per side, rotating once for perfect crosshatch grill marks.
- Alternative cooking method: Sear steaks in a scorching hot skillet over medium-high heat, approximately 4-5 minutes per side, developing a rich caramelized exterior.
- Transfer steaks from heat source and allow them to rest undisturbed for 5 minutes, enabling internal juices to redistribute and ensuring maximum tenderness.
- Slice against the meat’s natural grain and serve immediately, showcasing the herb-infused, perfectly cooked sirloin.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for the most vibrant and aromatic marinade, avoiding dried herbs if possible.
- Let steaks come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and better searing.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels before cooking to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust and prevent steaming.
- For gluten-free diets, confirm all marinade ingredients are certified gluten-free, especially if using pre-mixed seasonings.
