Top Sirloin Steak Recipe

Make the marinade by adding first 10 ingredients in small bowl and mixing. Transfer to a plastic bag and add steaks. Marinate for a minimum of 5 hours and up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Remove the steaks from the fridge about 30 minutes before you plan to cook them so they can come to room temperature. Remove from the marinade and use paper towels to remove any excess marinade.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. You want it very hot. Add butter. Once melted, place steaks in the pan. Sear for 2 minutes without moving. You want a nice gold brown color. Flip and sear for another 2 minutes.

Transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Bake for 2 to 3 more minutes or until the steaks are cooked 5 degrees less than your desired doneness when tested with a meat thermometer. (Tip: Sirloin steaks are very lean and many chefs recommend cooking them rare to medium-rare to keep them from being too tough. Please see the steak doneness chart below.)

Remove the sirloin steaks from the oven then place on a plate. Let rest for 5 minutes. The temperature of the steak will continue to rise 5 degrees while resting.
