🥘Ingredients

For the Marinade

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp brown sugar
1 lb top sirloin steak

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and brown sugar.
2Mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3This will be your marinade.
4Place the top sirloin steak in a Ziploc bag or shallow dish.
5Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated.
6Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
7The steak should be completely submerged in the marinade.
8Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat, around 450°F to 500°F.
9This will ensure the steak gets a nice sear and develops a good crust.
10Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess.
11Discard the remaining marinade.
12Grill or broil the steak for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F.
13For medium, cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until it reaches 145°F.
14The steak should be browned and slightly charred on the outside, with a juicy, pink center for medium-rare.
15Let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
16This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, ensuring a juicy and flavorful result.
17Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips, which will make it more tender and easier to chew.
