Sirloin

Ingredients:
– 2 pounds sirloin steak
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions:
1. Prepare the steak by patting it dry with paper towels. This will help the steak achieve a nice sear.
2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, and paprika to create a flavorful marinade.
3. Rub the marinade all over the sirloin steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or cover it and refrigerate for several hours to enhance the flavors.
4. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If grilling, make sure the grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
5. Place the marinated sirloin steak onto the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
6. To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak. For medium-rare, it should register around 135-140°F (57-60°C).
7. Once cooked to your liking, remove the sirloin steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. After resting, slice the steak against the grain into 1/2-inch slices. This will help ensure tenderness and easier cutting.
9. Serve the sliced sirloin steak with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Garnish with chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon for an extra burst of flavor.
