Garlic Sirloin Steak

Whether you do your steak in a pan or grill, here I show you step by step how to achieve a 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.
