Is sirloin a good cut of steak?
It’s one of my favorite steaks to cook because it’s less expensive than a filet or ribeye, is on the lean side, and can be cooked beautifully juicy and tender.
How to cook sirloin steak in oven
Now I’ll walk you through it…
Quick look at cooking sirloin in the oven
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and season the sirloin steak.
- Sear quickly in a cast iron skillet for 3 minutes to get a browned crust. Add butter, garlic and rosemary.
- Transfer and cook sirloin steak in the oven at 375 degrees F for about 5-7 minutes until done.
- Rest and enjoy.
Detailed recipe steps
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and season top sirloin steak with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet to medium high heat. Add olive oil. When olive oil begins to smoke, add seasoned top sirloin steak. Sear for 3 minutes.
- Flip steak and sear for 1 minute. Turn off the burner and quickly add the butter, garlic, and rosemary on top of the steak (it will melt in the oven and bring delicious flavor to the top sirloin).
- Transfer top sirloin steak to the oven to cook at 375 for about 5-7 minutes, or until a meat thermometer measures an internal temperature of 135 degrees F for rare steak or closer to 140 or 145 degrees F for medium, or to the temperature you desire. I like using a thermometer that has a probe that goes inside the steak and a cord connecting to a reader outside of the oven so I know exactly what temperature the steak is at all times. The steak in this demo was pulled out of the oven at 135 degrees F.
- Once the steak reaches the desired temperature, transfer to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes. This is important for the juices to settle.
- Serve as is or with your favorite steak sauce.

Why I wrote this sirloin steak recipe
When I dove deep into mastering how to cook steaks during that time we weren’t able to eat out at restaurants for a while…
I was interested in finding the best method to cooking all types of steaks from fancy petite filet mignon, to cheaper cuts of beef like top sirloin and flank steak.
For a family dinner, I think one of the best cuts of meat to use is something like sirloin.
Serve it with some smoked mac and cheese, or over a grilled romaine salad with homemade blue cheese dressing.
It doesn’t take long to cook at all, so you can make this recipe start to finish in under 30 minutes.
In the future, I’ll share a method for cooking sirloin steak in the air fryer, too.
You can season it as mentioned in this guide or very simply with just salt and pepper, or add any steak seasoning blend you have on hand.
Cook it to your desired doneness level, and that’s it.

Meat thermometer recommendations
Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly.
On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:
- Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
- ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill.
It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature.
How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.
While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!

This is the way I’ll be doing steaks now. It was perfect for Friday night dinner last night — low prep, quick and easy, and delicious. I used crushed dried rosemary because I didn’t have fresh, and it still turned out great. Thank you!

Turned out perfect!
Savannah R says
DELICIOUS! Had to cook the steak longer because it was thicker but wow. Had to use a stainless steel pan and avocado oil. Cooked on a baking sheet. Would use garlic powder next time I think the minced was a bit overwhelming. So good tho. Thank you!!!

Perfect steak.
