Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8 ounces each) sirloin steak
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, dried thyme, and salt. Whisk until the marinade is well blended.
Place the sirloin steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the steaks and allow them to marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to let them come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are cleaned and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness level. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, or 150°F (66°C) for medium-well.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy steak.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
