Ingredients

• 2 pieces (8 oz each) Top sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 sprig (optional, for garnish) Fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for basting) Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Remove the top sirloin steaks from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before grilling to bring them to room temperature. This helps them cook more evenly.

Step 2

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures a good sear.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.

Step 4

Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then generously sprinkle the seasoning blend on both sides, pressing it gently into the meat to adhere.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (450-500°F). If using a charcoal grill, prepare a two-zone fire with one side for direct heat and one side for indirect heat.

Step 6

Place the steaks on the hot grill grates over direct heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to develop a good sear.

Step 7

Flip the steaks and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the second side for medium-rare doneness (135°F internal temperature). Use a meat thermometer to check the desired doneness: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 135-145°F for medium, or 145°F+ for well done.

Step 8

If you prefer, during the last minute of cooking, baste the steaks lightly with unsalted butter using a grilling brush for added flavor and richness.

Step 9

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat for maximum juiciness.

Step 10

Slice the steaks against the grain and serve. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, if desired.
