Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful steak, consider marinating it for a few hours before broiling. You can substitute the sirloin steak with ribeye for a juicier option. If you don’t have fine bread crumbs, crushed crackers or even oats can work as a great alternative. To enhance the topping, mix in grated cheese or finely chopped herbs.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the broiled steak alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. Pair it with a glass of red wine for a classic touch. The broiled tomatoes make a delightful side, adding a burst of flavor. For a complete meal, consider serving with a side of savory fresh pole beans.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the steak in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. The topped tomatoes can also be refrigerated but are best enjoyed fresh.
