Tender Sirloin Steak Recipes Oven Food

BALSAMIC SIRLOIN STEAKS

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, combine vinegar, oil, basil, mustard, garlic and sugar; mix well.
• Add steak, turn to coat and marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes to 2 hours, turning occasionally.
• When ready to cook, remove steak and discard marinade.
• Grill steak 17 to 21 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally.
• Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Slice steak crosswise and serve.

SIMPLE SIRLOIN STEAK

Steps:

• Remove the steaks from the fridge about 30 mins before you plan to cook, so they're closer to room temperature. Pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper, and season with salt and pepper. Take a heavy-based frying pan that will comfortably fit both steaks, add the oil and heat over a high flame.
• When the oil is shimmering, turn the heat down to medium-high and add the butter. Once it's sizzling, carefully lay the steaks in the pan, tucking the garlic and herbs in at the sides.
• With a pair of tongs, sear and turn the steaks every 30 secs to 1 min so they get a nice brown crust. As a rough guide, each steak will take 3 mins in total for rare, 4-5 mins in total for medium and 7-8 mins for well done. If you have a digital cooking thermometer, the middle of the steak should be 50C for rare, 60C for medium and 70C for well done.

HOW TO COOK TOP SIRLOIN STEAK IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Prepare the steak marinade according to the instructions here. Marinate the steaks for 3-8 hours (but not longer). (Alternatively, you can simply season generously with salt and pepper and skip the marinade, but the marinade makes them so juicy!)
• Remove the steaks from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking, to let them come to room temperature. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). At the same time, preheat a cast iron grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes.
• Once the oven is just a few minutes away from being preheated, add the butter and heat until melted. Add the steaks in a single layer. Sear for about 2 minutes, without moving around, until browned with grill marks on the bottom. Flip and sear for 1-2 minutes on the other side.
• Transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Bake for 2 to 6 minutes, to your desired level of doneness. For a 1.5-inch (4 cm) thick steak, that's usually 2 minutes for rare, 3 minutes for medium rare, 4 minutes for medium, 5 minutes for medium-well and 6 minutes for well done. Use a meat thermometer to be sure - 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) for rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare, 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) for medium well, and 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for well done. Steak temperature will increase by an additional 5 degrees when resting in the next step.
• Remove the sirloin steaks from the oven and transfer to a plate. (Do not leave in the pan or they will be overcooked.) Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

SIRLOIN STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven on broiler setting. Make foil 'snake' out of aluminum foil to use to keep oven door slightly ajar so that broiler won't turn off if it gets too hot. Brush steak with oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Place a piece of foil on the bottom rack as a drip pan. Place another rack in the position above this and put the steak directly on this rack. Cook steak in this position for 5 minutes. Flip steak and cook for another 5 minutes. Move rack with steak to top position in oven, moving rack with foil and drippings just underneath, and cook for 3 minutes. Flip 1 last time and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer steak to wire rack and rest for 3 to 5 minutes. The above times are for medium doneness. Adjust cooking times up or down as desired.

TENDER STEAK

Steps:

• In a food processor combine all ingredients except the steaks; process until well blended.
• Using a fork prick holes on both sides of the steaks, then place in a shallow glass baking dish or container.
• Pour the marinade over steaks and turn to make certain that steaks are coated in the marinade.
• Cover and refrigerate for 6-24 hours (turning once or twice during marinating time).
• A couple of hours before ready to grill remove the steaks from the fridge and the marinade, place on plates and let come down to room temperature (discard the marinade).
• Grill steaks until desired doneness.

SIRLOIN TIP STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, saute the shallots until transparent. Add the mushrooms and cover the skillet for about 5 minutes, or until mushrooms have darkened. Remove the shallots and mushrooms and set them aside.
• Pour a can of beef broth and burgundy wine over the same skillet. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue cooking until the mixture is reduced by a third.
• Grill the sirloin tips to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the cooked steaks rest on a plate.
• Once the sauce is reduced, add in the other can of beef broth and garlic. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 10 more minutes, or until the sauce has thinned, like au jus.
• Add the flour and stir until desired thickness is achieved. Stir in the mushrooms and shallots and season to taste.
• Spoon over the gravy over the sirloin tips. Enjoy!

OVEN STEAK

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of the steaks all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then let sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on the rack. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the steaks, making sure they are spaced apart, so they don't steam. Top each steak with 1 sprig of thyme, one-half sprig of rosemary and 1 tablespoon cold butter. Return the skillet to the oven and cook until the undersides of steaks are well browned, about 4 minutes.
• Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and flip the steaks using tongs, then continue to cook until desired doneness, about 2 minutes more for medium-rare and 3 minutes more for medium. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
