Mastering the Art of Preparing Sirloin Steak

• Opt for a steak that's at least 3 cm thick (approximately 200g) to prevent overcooking.
• Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for an hour before cooking to ensure even cooking.
• Achieve those exquisite sear marks and maintain a juicy interior by searing or grilling the Sirloin Steak at maximum heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
• Finish by placing the steaks in a preheated oven at 130 degrees Celsius for approximately 10 minutes.
• To gauge the doneness accurately, we highly recommend using a meat thermometer. A temperature of 55 degrees Celsius indicates a perfect "medium-rare" steak.
• Our Gourmet Experts temperature table provides precise guidelines for achieving your preferred level of doneness.
• For premium beef like Sirloin Steaks, simplicity reigns. Season with high-quality salt and pepper to let the meat's natural flavors shine through.
