1. Prepare the Steak:
Remove the Top Sirloin Steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.
2. Preheat the Grill or Skillet:
Preheat your grill to high heat or a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it's very hot.
3. Sear the Steak:
Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet. For a good sear, don’t move the steak for the first 4-5 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side.
4. Check the Temperature:
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time as needed for your preferred doneness.
5. Rest the Steak:
Once cooked to your desired level, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
6. Slice and Serve:
Slice the Top Sirloin against the grain into thick slices. Serve immediately, perhaps with a drizzle of high-quality olive oil or a sprinkle of finishing salt.
