Begin by preparing the sugar-free BBQ marinade. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of liquid smoke, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Place the 1-pound sirloin steak on a plate and pour the prepared BBQ marinade over the steak. Ensure that both sides of the steak are evenly coated with the marinade.
Cover the steak with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat. For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-450°F (190-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the steak onto the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached.
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Slice the steak against the grain for more tender bites. Serve the Sugar-Free BBQ Steak hot and enjoy with your favorite low-carb sides.
