Sirloin Steak

Who says you have to drop a fortune to eat well? Even inexpensive cuts like this one can be beautifully tender and flavorful when they're done right. Sirloin has a characteristic fat layer along one side, and when you do a slow cook followed by a quick reverse sear with the fat side first, that layer keeps the steak juicy and creates a veritable flavor explosion in the meat while it cooks. Plus, more affordable steaks like this one are pretty easy to find in most grocery stores, so you won't be going on a whole expedition just to find something to cook for dinner. The trick to a gourmet sirloin is taking your time. Since it doesn't have as much marbling as rib-eye, it can dry out if it's overcooked. Low and slow cooking is the best way to avoid this, along with using MEATER to make sure you're hitting the perfect internal temperature. When it comes to side dishes for sirloin, we like to keep it simple with roasted vegetables or a good ol' beef and potatoes meal. You can also find a variety of mouth-watering sauces in our recipe menu if you want to add some flair to your sirloin. If you're looking for a perfect beverage pairing, you'll find the best balance with something acidic, like a fruity and full-bodied red wine like cabernet sauvignon, or a citrusy IPA.
