💭 Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about this sirloin steak recipe.
Top sirloin is the perfect steak for grilling because it has good marbling. Like skirt steak and flank steak, it is a lean cut of meat, however, top sirloin is more tender than both, and also more tender than bottom sirloin.
While it may sound a little silly, top sirloin has a great beefy flavor. It's also popular because it is much less expensive than filet mignon.
This seasoning mix is a yummy combination of smoky, spicy, and sweet notes that add robust flavor, especially on red meat.
With a blend of cumin and coriander, along with simple ingredients like brown sugar, black pepper, chili powder, and paprika, it's a super tasty rub for pork and chicken also.
This is an herbed compound butter that starts with room temperature unsalted butter, mixed with minced garlic, lemon, and a bit of red pepper flake.
Compound butter, also known as finishing butter, is often used on grilled meats to help enhance the flavor.

🔪 Instructions
Marinating the Steak
Using the cowboy rub makes this a special marinade and the outcome is the most amazingly flavorful steaks!
- Gently pat the steaks dry with paper towels and place them into a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and coyboy steak rub.
- Sour the marinade over the meat, taking care to cover all sides.
- Cover and refridgerate for at least 30 minutes, and up to 24 hours.
Grilling the Steak
- Remove the steaks from the fridge and let set on the counter to rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to high (about 350°F — 400°F).
- Lightly spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place steaks onto the hot grill. For a good sear, do not move for 4-5 minutes.
- Then, flip the steaks and cook on the second side.
- Check the internal temperature and remove at your desired doneness (see below).
- Place the cooked steaks into a shallow dish and add a tablespoon of cowboy butter to each.
- Lightly cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Grilled Steak Cooking Guide
For the best results, always check the internal temperature of the steaks. Obviously, thicker cuts will take longer to cook than a thinner steak.
Here is a helpful guide:
- Medium-Rare: 130 to 135 degrees F; cook for 3-5 minutes after flipping
- Medium: 135 to 140 degrees F; cook for 5-7 minutes after flipping
- Medium-Well: 140 to 150 degrees F; cook for 8-10 minutes after flipping
When you use an internal meat thermometer, you will always have excellent results!

⭐ Tips
✔️ Always check the internal temperature of your steak! This is my favorite meat thermometer. Never rely on time alone for your desired doneness.
✔️ Rest the meat for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. This makes for a more flavorful and juicy steak.
✔️ Cut the sirloin steak at a 45-degree angle against the grain for the most tender steak.
🍲 Storage
To Store: Store leftover sirloin steak in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
To Reheat: Add a little butter to a hot skillet and place the sliced beef into it. Toss the beef with the melted butter. Cover and remove from the heat. This will help the meat warm through without drying it out. Check it after about 5 minutes.
To Freeze: Frozen steak will last in the freezer for quite a long time but is best when eaten within 3 months.
To Thaw: Allow to thaw overnight in the fridge.

🍴 Serving Suggestions
I love to serve this with Cowboy Baked Beans and grilled corn on the cob, but steak goes well with so many side dishes! Try it with a salad and some Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes or your favorite grilled vegetables. You could even make a batch of Cowboy Caviar and pile it on top of the sirloin!
