HOW TO COOK TOP SIRLOIN STEAK IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Prepare the steak marinade according to the instructions here. Marinate the steaks for 3-8 hours (but not longer). (Alternatively, you can simply season generously with salt and pepper and skip the marinade, but the marinade makes them so juicy!)
• Remove the steaks from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking, to let them come to room temperature. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). At the same time, preheat a cast iron grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes.
• Once the oven is just a few minutes away from being preheated, add the butter and heat until melted. Add the steaks in a single layer. Sear for about 2 minutes, without moving around, until browned with grill marks on the bottom. Flip and sear for 1-2 minutes on the other side.
• Transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Bake for 2 to 6 minutes, to your desired level of doneness. For a 1.5-inch (4 cm) thick steak, that's usually 2 minutes for rare, 3 minutes for medium rare, 4 minutes for medium, 5 minutes for medium-well and 6 minutes for well done. Use a meat thermometer to be sure - 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) for rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare, 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) for medium well, and 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for well done. Steak temperature will increase by an additional 5 degrees when resting in the next step.
• Remove the sirloin steaks from the oven and transfer to a plate. (Do not leave in the pan or they will be overcooked.) Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

ELSWET'S BAKED SIRLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a loaf [bread] pan with aluminum foil. Grease the bottom with the full 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and place your bacon-wrapped sirloin steaks into the pan. Space them well from one another and from the sides, deposit a crushed garlic clove atop each steak, and arrange onion quarters in the corners of the pan.
• Pour the liquid ingredients equally over both steaks, then sprinkle the dry ingredients evenly.
• Cover the pan with aluminum foil and marinade overnight (tastes fantastic even when you don't have time for this step).
• Bake for 45 minutes on 350°F, after which, baste, turn onion quarters, recover, and bake for a additional 45 minutes (a total of 90 minutes baking time).
• Remove to serving plate, garnish, and serve. Enjoy!

TOP SIRLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Make small slits in the roast using a sharp knife; tuck slivered garlic into each slit. Rub minced garlic, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper over the entire roast. Set aside until roast comes to room temperature, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Arrange potatoes, carrots, and onions in an even layer in a 9x12-inch roasting pan. Dissolve beef bouillon cubes in hot water in a small bowl and pour over vegetables. Pour in beef broth and beer.
• Place roast on top of the vegetables, making sure it is not submerged in the broth mixture. Place bay leaf pieces around the roast.
• Bake roast in the preheated oven until internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) for medium, 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer roast to a platter; cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees (68 degrees C), about 10 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Add red pepper and mushrooms to the roasting pan and return it to the oven. Bake until vegetables are tender and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Thinly slice the roast crosswise. Serve with vegetables; spoon pan juices over meat and vegetables.

STEAK TIPS IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, molasses, sesame oil, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add steak tips and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove steak tips from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Put steak tips into a baking dish and fill the bottom of the dish with beef broth.
• Bake in the preheated oven until steak tips are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, about 25 minutes, flipping halfway. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
