Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above.
  2. Mix the Marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk again until evenly mixed.
  4. Taste Test: Taste a small amount of the marinade and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Prepare the Steak: Pat the sirloin steak dry with paper towels.
  6. Marinate the Steak: Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
  7. Refrigerate: Let the steak marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat about 30 minutes before grilling.
  9. Remove the Steak from the Marinade: Take the steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  10. Discard the Marinade: Discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw meat.
  11. Oil the Grill Grates: Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  12. Grill the Steak: Place the steak on the hot grill and grill for 4-5 minutes on one side.
  13. Flip the Steak: Flip the steak using tongs and grill for another 4-5 minutes on the other side.
  14. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium).
  15. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  16. Slice the Steak: Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  17. Serve: Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
