How to Grill Top Sirloin Steak
Step 1: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2: Season both sides of each steak with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Place steaks on preheated grill and cook 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness.
Step 4: Transfer steaks to warmed plates; brush the tops liberally with melted butter (option and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
Tips for Grilling the Perfect Top Sirloin
When looking for a steak at the supermarket or butcher shop look for one that is 1 to 1 ½ inches thick, has a bright red color, and some marble to it. The marble in the steak is the fat and that will give you a lot of flavor and tenderness.
Leave the steak out for 30 minutes before grilling so that it comes to room temperature.
To test if the steak is done, with the steak with your fingers for medium rare the steak should feel spongy in texture.
What to serve with Top Sirloin Steak
For a vegetable try top sirloin steak with grilled corn the cob and smoked potatoes on my Traeger on the side. The smoked potatoes will take a little longer to cook.
I love serving potatoes with my steak in any form possible. Make Air Fryer Twice Baked Potato or my Aunt Carol's Potato Salad.
Paula Deen's Crock Pot Mac and Cheese will have people at your pot luck asking for the recipe.
Best Grilling Tips
- Always Start with a clean grill. Make sure last nights dinner isn’t stuck on it. 😉
- Get any type of meat thermometer. This will help to check for proper doneness and to make sure the meat is at the proper temperature.
- Grilling is done at very high heat to cook food faster. Smokers are used for low and slow cooking.
- Know when to use direct heat.
- The best outdoor type grills are Webber or Blackstone. Blackstone are a flat top cooking service that don’t have any grates in them.
Recipe FAQs
