Beef Sirloin Tip Steak
Mastering the cooking technique is key to enjoying a tender and flavorful beef sirloin tip steak. Here are three reliable methods that work well with this lean cut.
Notes
Pan-Searing Beef Sirloin Tip Steak
Pan-searing is a quick and effective way to cook sirloin tip steak, locking in flavor with a beautifully seared crust.- Heat the Pan: Preheat a skillet over high heat with a tablespoon of high-smoke point oil (like avocado or canola oil).
- Sear the Steak: Place the steak in the hot pan and let it sear without moving for about 3-4 minutes per side, adjusting for thickness. For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F.
- Rest and Serve: Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This resting period ensures that the juices remain in the meat, giving you a tender bite.
- Rare: 125°F (3-4 minutes per side)
- Medium-Rare: 130-135°F (4-5 minutes per side)
- Medium: 140-145°F (5-6 minutes per side)
Grilling Beef Sirloin Tip Steak
Grilling adds a smokiness to sirloin tip steak that enhances its natural flavor.- Preheat the Grill: Set the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Cook Each Side: Grill the steak for about 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
- Rest and Slice: Allow the steak to rest, then slice thinly against the grain for a tender bite.
Broiling Beef Sirloin Tip Steak
Broiling is an excellent indoor option for achieving a high-heat, charred finish.- Preheat Broiler: Place the oven rack 4 inches below the broiler and preheat.
- Broil the Steak: Place the steak on a broiler pan, broiling for 4-6 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
- Let it Rest: Allow the steak to rest before slicing
