Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 pounds petite sirloin steaks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet or grill
  • Meat thermometer
  • Tongs
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Start by taking the petite sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator. Allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or heat the skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  4. Place the steaks on the hot surface. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes without moving them.
  5. Use tongs to flip the steaks gently. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for preferred doneness.
  6. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak, aiming for 130°F for medium-rare.
  7. Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes.
  8. After resting, slice the steaks against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

This steak pairs beautifully with garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a fresh garden salad.
