Tips & Substitutions
For a juicy sirloin steak, consider marinating it for a few hours before cooking to enhance the flavor and tenderness.

To ensure even cooking, let the steak rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to seasoning and cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell when the sirloin steak is well done?
To check if your sirloin steak is well done, use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Alternatively, you can cut into the steak to see if the juices run clear rather than pink.
Can I use a different type of oil instead of Crisco?
Yes, you can substitute Crisco oil with any neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil. For added flavor, try using olive oil, but keep in mind it has a lower smoke point, so adjust the cooking temperature accordingly.
What is the best way to slice sirloin steak for serving?
When it's time to serve, let the steak rest for about 5-10 minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute. Slice against the grain to ensure tender bites, and serve with your favorite sides.
