Tips & Substitutions
For a more tender beef, consider marinating the sirloin in Worcestershire sauce for a few hours before cooking. If you're out of beef consomme, beef broth mixed with a bit of soy sauce can work as a substitute. To add depth of flavor, try adding a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar to the skillet while cooking.
