Why This Recipe Works
Fast, delicious, easy — I could go on forever as to why this recipe works. Fast — From fridge to grill to mouth in less than 30 minutes! Can’t top that! Easy — Prepared with simple pantry seasonings, you can grill these steaks to your liking in a flash and even whip up the butter while the steak is cooking on one side, it’s that easy! Customizable — If you don’t have sirloin, you can substitute another kind of steak and you can change up the butter in a number of ways as well (see more ideas on that below). Adaptable — Dig right into your steak as-is, or slice it and put it on a salad (Black n’ Blue Grilled Steak Salad, for example,) serve over rice or noodles, add strips of the steak to a hoagie bun and top with peppers and onions for a delicious Pepperjack Cheesesteak, dice up for quesadillas or tacos (and make Mojo Steak Tacos)…this sirloin steak recipe goes great with so many other dinner ideas!

How do you Cook these Steaks in the Oven
If you’d prefer to cook these steaks in the oven, I recommend patting dry and seasoning as instructed. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Then, add the steaks to a cast-iron pan over high heat for 1-2 minutes, flip then put the skillet into the oven for 10 minutes or less depending on how thick the sirloin is. Again, let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing into.

Ideas for Customizing Herb Butter
Make the butter spicy by adding in red pepper flakes or hot sauce Change the herbs in the butter — any of your favorites will do! Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the herby butter mixture. Roast a head of garlic in the oven, and then add 2-3 of the roasted cloves to the butter for a deeper, richer garlic flavor. Make chimichurri butter! Add cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to some softened butter. Crisp, crumbed bacon bits and a bit of chives along with the garlic makes for a salty, savory, delicious butter for steaks fresh off the grill!
Expert Tips
I like my steaks on the thicker side so the inside can remain nice and juicy. Choose steaks that are at least ¾-inch thick for max tenderness and flavor. I love mesquite seasoning made by McCormick’s Grill Mates. I always have a bottle of it around and put it on all the things. I recommended using this as well as salt and pepper before cooking, but you don’t have to. If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use dry herbs. I recommend 1 teaspoon of Herbs de Provence or another Italian seasoning blend.
