Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sirloin steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and salt.
Place the sirloin steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush the grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on one side, depending on thickness, without moving them to allow for a nice char.
Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check if they have reached your preferred internal temperature (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 to 10 minutes to retain their juices.
While the steaks rest, prepare the zesty herb topping. Finely chop parsley and sprinkle it over the steak, along with a light dusting of red chili flakes for extra flavor.
Slice the steaks against the grain for maximum tenderness and serve with your favorite summer sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or grilled corn.
