Garlic Sirloin Steak

Versión en español

Whether you do your steak in a pan or grill, here I show you step by step how to achieve juicy and tasty garlic sirloin steak meat.

The smell of steak and especially when seasoned with plenty of garlic reminds me of my grandfather. Every summer I was sent with my grandparents to the beach, my mother stayed in the city working. My grandfather always had hearty breakfasts, prepared at 6 in the morning and the smells would awaken my cousins and me every day.

Returning to the steak, you can learn the technique, but the meat must be good to star. I like aged top sirloin.

I would not recommend a thin steak, no room for mistakes … and if it gets dry, it tastes like shoe sole …. so buy thick steak about 1″ 1/4. After cooked cut it into thin slices and serve.
