Description
A simple and quick recipe for juicy, garlic-buttered sirloin steaks, perfect for the grill. The steaks are seasoned with salt and pepper, grilled over high heat until medium, and then immediately brushed with a rich, homemade garlic butter made from melted butter, minced garlic, and garlic powder.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 4 pounds beef top sirloin steaks
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Stir in the minced garlic and garlic powder to create the garlic butter. Set it aside.
- Season both sides of each steak generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 140°F (60°C) for medium doneness.
- Transfer the steaks to warmed plates. Brush the tops liberally with the prepared garlic butter.
- Allow the steaks to rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- This is a very fast-cooking main course, perfect for a weeknight dinner or barbecue.
