Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the beef sirloin on a cutting board and trim any excess fat.
Slice the beef sirloin against the grain into 1/4-inch thick strips for optimal tenderness.
Transfer the beef strips to the bowl of marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid.
Refrigerate the beef for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
When ready to cook, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
Grill the beef strips for about 3-5 minutes per side until cooked through to your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the low sodium marinated beef with your favorite sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
