Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (each about 8 oz) Top sirloin steaks
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Remove the rosemary and thyme leaves from their stems and chop them finely.
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, lemon juice, ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, and onion powder to create the marinade.
Place the sirloin steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are completely covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours. For best results, marinate overnight.
Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F (230°C). If using a charcoal grill, prepare a two-zone fire by placing all the coals on one side of the grill.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a good sear.
Place the steaks on the grill over direct heat. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium.
Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steaks to a clean plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier steak.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately, pairing with your choice of sides like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
