Sirloin With Rich Italian Sauce Recipes

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.

SIRLOIN STEAK WITH TOMATO BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.

• Pour the marinade over the steaks. Refrigerate marinating steaks for at least 2 hours.
• Remove marinating steaks from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
• Heat grill to medium heat. Remove steaks from marinade and place on a hot grill.
• Grill steaks for approximately 8 minutes on each side, turning only once. Internal temperature of the steak should reach 145 degrees for a medium steak (use a meat thermometer).
• Heat olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat, make sure the olive oil doesn't turn brown. Add garlic and sauté until a light golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, basil sprigs, and dried crushed red pepper to a food processor and pulse a few times. Add tomato mixture to the garlic in the sauce pan.
• Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until mixture is reduced to a thick sauce consistency (about 3 cups), stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
• Season sauce to taste with coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Top grilled steaks with tomato basil sauce. Garnish with shredded basil.
