Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 unit garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Rinse the sirloin steaks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the marinade adhere better to the meat.
Place the steaks in a large ziplock bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring each side is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly, then refrigerate the steaks for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. It's important to have the grill hot enough to sear the steak, locking in the natural juices.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the steaks on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the time according to your preference, but avoid overcooking to maintain the tenderness of the sirloin.
Once cooked to your desired level, remove the steaks from the grill. Cover them loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Pair it with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete Paleo meal.
