RECIPE BY Southern Living

Sirloin is readily available in the meat section, but for a thicker portion, such as the one called for in this recipe, check with your butcher to see if you'll need to preorder it.

Ingredients

  • 1 (1 1/4-inch-thick) boneless beef top sirloin steak (about 2 to 2 1/2 lb.)
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

How to Make It

Step 1

Trim steak, if necessary. Combine garlic and next 4 ingredients; rub over steak. Place steak in a large, shallow dish or 2-qt. zip-top plastic freezer bag. Cover or seal, and chill at least 5 hours or up to 8 hours.

Step 2

Remove steak from marinade, discarding marinade. Place steak in a heavy-duty aluminum foil-lined jelly-roll pan.

Step 3

Broil 6 inches from heat 15 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 375°, and bake 30 to 35 minutes or to desired degree of doneness. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. chopped parsley.

It's extremely important to use the exact thickness and weight of steak called for in this recipe. I've only made this once and the sirloin steak that I bought wasn't quite as thick or heavy as the recipe requires. Thus, I had to flip the steak over halfway through the broiling process and only had to bake for 10 min. Even with those alterations I still had a steak that was well done.
