Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6 oz each) Lean sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, dried Thyme
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, dried thyme, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Place the lean sirloin steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each steak is well-coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Grill the steaks for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of at least 145°F for medium rare.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the steaks before serving for an added burst of freshness and color.
Serve immediately with a side of grilled vegetables or a mixed green salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
