Teriyaki Sirloin Steak

So we were in Connecticut at a steak house and I decided to have a teriyaki sirloin

Typically I like my steak pretty simple with no bells or whistles but I must say I loved the flavor from the teriyaki!

So I decided to make some at home!

Here I have 4 beef sirloin steaks

They have a wonderful beefy flavor on their own, but they will really do well with a great marinade

So let’s talk about that

We will need 1 cup of Teriyaki sauce, 1/4 cup of Soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 clove of grated garlic

Place all the ingredients into a bowl and whisk, until combined

Place the steaks in a gallon zip lock bag

I stand the bag up in a mixing bowl to avoid it flopping around when you add the marinade

Pour the marinade in, over the steaks, push the bag down to release any excess air, seal and move the marinade and steaks around to coat evenly

I lay the bag in a flat pan so the steak really just sits in all that good flavor

Marinate for a minimum of 1-2 hours though I think overnight would be the best (in fact I imagine that’s how the restaurant we visited developed so much flavor)

Flip the bag once in a while to maximize the flavor and evenly coat the beef

I marinating for 1-2 hours flip the bag every 20 minutes or so

When the steak has marinated enough, strain the liquid into a sauce pot

Let the steaks come to room temperature

Season the beef with some kosher salt and ground black pepper

Bring the marinade to a boil, then simmer and reduce by half (allow to cook down slowly)

Well, you can grill these outside, however, due to the weather I’m forced to grill these inside

Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to a cast iron grill pan

I’m going to let this heat up until smoking, I want to get some grill marks and grill flavor

Place your steaks in the pan and season the other side with kosher salt and ground black pepper

While these cook, baste them with the reduced marinade

Sear for about 4 minutes, then turn them cross wise (do not flip yet)

Baste

Cook another 2 minutes, then flip

Baste some more!

Sear this side another 2-3 minutes then turn cross wise and cook another minute or 2 more until the steaks are medium at around 135 F

Baste again!

Remove from the pan and let rest for 10 minutes before serving

 We served these steaks over a bed of Citrus Roasted Asparagus!

Enjoy!!!
