WHAT TO SERVE WITH SIRLOIN

How to Cook Sirloin Steak in Oven
Video
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 LB top sirloin steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp butter salted
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 3 sprigs rosemary fresh
Instructions
- 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 degrees F 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 Sip Bite Go 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.

Made this today and it was so good! The first time I’ve successfully cooked a steak in the oven! I used steak seasoning (salt pepper garlic Powder) and omitted the minced garlic.

I used thick top sirloin to make this recipe. I was worried that the meat would be tough. I tenderized the meat and followed this recipe exactly and it was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Thank you. I will put this deliciousness on repeat!

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!!!
