Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 6 oz each) Lean sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon, dried Thyme
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, dried thyme, and lemon juice to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the lean sirloin steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each steak is well-coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 5

Grill the steaks for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of at least 145°F for medium rare.

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.

Step 7

Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the steaks before serving for an added burst of freshness and color.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a side of grilled vegetables or a mixed green salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
