Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh herbs (if using) to create a flavorful marinade.
- Pat the sirloin steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Brush the olive oil mixture generously over both sides of the steak, ensuring it's well coated.
- Place the steak on the preheated grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (145°F/63°C for medium-rare).
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is tender and flavorful.
- Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
Tips
- For added flavor, marinate the steak in the olive oil mixture for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator before grilling.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices in the marinade to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
- Using a meat thermometer can help achieve the perfect doneness without guessing.
