How to BBQ a Sirloin Steak to Perfection
What You'll Need
- Sirloin steak
- Coarse salt and cracked pepper (or your favourite steak spice)
- Butter or ghee
- BBQ tongs
- Instant-read thermometer (Optional but helpful!)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring the steak to room temperature:
- Let your steak sit out at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes before grilling. This will help it cook evenly.
- Season simply (and generously!):
- Pat the meat dry, then brush it with butter or ghee, and season both sides. The sirloin already has amazing beefy flavour, so you don’t need much more.
- Preheat the BBQ:
- Heat your grill to high (450-500°F). Oil the grates with a high-heat oil to prevent sticking.
- Sear over direct heat:
- Sear steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side, with the lid open, to create a flavourful crust.
- Finish over indirect heat (if thicker):
- Move the steak to a cooler zone and finish cooking to your liking.
- Rare: 120-125°F
- Medium-rare: 130-135°F
- Medium: 140-145°F
- Move the steak to a cooler zone and finish cooking to your liking.
- Let it Rest:
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes to lock in the juices. Add a spoonful of ghee (or butter) on top for extra richness.
