Sirloin Steak in the oven involves quickly searing the steak on a hot pan to create a crispy crust, followed by finishing it off in the broiler to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor. With just a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking techniques, you can have a perfectly cooked steak that is sure to impress.
Preheat the broiler and prep the steak. Preheat the broiler on the oven. Place the skillet into the oven to heat as the oven preheats. Pat the steak dry with the paper toweling. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Let the steak come to room temperature as the oven preheats.
Sear the steak. Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot add the steak. Sear for 3 minutes undisturbed. Flip then place the skillet into the oven.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Broil. Broil the steak for about 3-5 minutes depending on how well done you like your steak. Carefully remove the hot pan and let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Select top sirloin steak for oven baking instead of bottom sirloin steak, which is better for slow cooker recipes.
Bring steaks to room temperature by setting out for 30 minutes before cooking.
Marinate overnight in your choice of marinade or season immediately before placing in a skillet.
Bake for 3 minutes for medium rare, 4 minutes for medium and 5-6 minutes for medium-well to well done.
Let steak rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven to allow the juices to soak into the meat and the flavors to further develop.
