Whether you do your steak in a pan or grill, I show you how to achieve juicy and tasty garlic sirloin steak meat.
The smell of steak, especially when seasoned with plenty of garlic, reminds me of my grandfather. Every summer, I was sent with my grandparents to the beach, and 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. I like aged top sirloin.
I would not recommend a thin steak; there is no room for mistakes … and if it gets dry, it tastes like shoe soles…. so buy a thick steak of about 1″ 1/4. After cooking, cut it into thin slices and serve.
