Discover Sirloin Steak from Wiltshire County Fayre
Sirloin steak is a well-flavoured cut that offers a robust, beefy taste, making it perfect for pairing with richly flavoured sauces. Cut from the large back muscle along the spine, sirloin steak boasts a bigger flavour profile than fillet or ribeye. To ensure it stays tender and not chewy, sirloin must be cooked carefully and rested properly.
Is Sirloin Steak a Good Steak?
Yes, sirloin steak is an excellent choice! It’s known for being tender and juicy with a rich, beefy flavour. Sirloin steaks are cut from the rump end of the striploin, a part of the hindquarter that does less work, resulting in a leaner cut with less fat and connective tissue.
How Should Sirloin Steak Be Cooked?
For the best results, cook sirloin steak using high-temperature methods such as grilling or pan-searing to lock in its juices. Ensure you rest the steak after cooking to maintain its tenderness. It can also be thinly sliced for stir-fries, offering versatility in the kitchen.
Is Sirloin Steak Healthy?
Sirloin is a lean cut with less fat, making it a healthier option compared to fattier cuts like ribeye. It’s packed with protein and nutrients, making it a nutritious choice for any meal.

Cooking Instructions
Beef Sirloin Steak Cooking Instructions
Grill Method:
Preparation: Begin by removing the beef sirloin steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. This step is essential for achieving an even cook throughout the steak, resulting in a juicy and tender texture.
Seasoning: Rub the sirloin steak with a light coating of olive oil, then season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. This classic seasoning enhances the natural flavours of the beef while allowing the meat's quality to shine.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or frying pan to high heat until it's smoking hot. A hot grill ensures you achieve those perfect visible char marks that are key to a beautifully grilled sirloin steak.
Cooking: Place the sirloin steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish. The steak should develop a rich, caramelised crust while the centre remains a juicy pink. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 54-57°C.
Resting: Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes under loosely tented foil. Resting the steak is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it tender and flavourful.
Serve: Arrange the steak on a white plate and serve with roasted potatoes and grilled asparagus for a balanced, elegant meal. Add a side of garlic butter to enhance the richness of the steak and complement the vegetables.
Oven Method:
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or gas mark 6. Bring the sirloin steak to room temperature by leaving it out for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the steak cook more evenly.
Seasoning: Rub the steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to create a delicious crust when seared.
Searing: Heat an ovenproof pan over high heat and sear the sirloin steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until it develops a golden-brown crust. Searing helps lock in the juices and adds depth of flavour to the steak.
Oven Cooking: Transfer the pan with the seared steak to the preheated oven and cook for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 54-57°C for a perfectly cooked steak.
Resting: Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes under foil. This resting period is key to maintaining the steak's juiciness and tenderness.
Serving: Serve the steak with roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, and a side of garlic butter on a white plate for a stylish presentation. The bright, natural lighting enhances the appetizing textures and colours of the dish, making it perfect for a modern, light-coloured table setting.
These instructions provide a comprehensive guide on how to cook beef sirloin steak, whether on the grill or in the oven, ensuring a delicious medium-rare steak with visible char marks and a rich, pink centre every time.
