Instructions
-
Prepare the Steak:
- Begin by cutting the sirloin steak into individual serving-sized pieces. This will help the marinade penetrate evenly into the meat.
-
Pierce the Meat:
- Using a large fork, pierce the steak all over on both sides. This step is crucial, as it allows the marinade to deeply penetrate and flavor the steak during the marinating process.
-
Make the Marinade:
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salad dressing mix. These ingredients will work together to create a rich and tangy marinade.
-
Marinate the Steak:
- Place the steak pieces into the resealable bag with the marinade. Seal the bag tightly and shake it gently to ensure that the steak is evenly coated. For best results, marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or overnight if possible. Turn the bag occasionally to redistribute the marinade.
-
Grill the Steak:
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak over hot coals, cooking it to your desired level of doneness, about 4β6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the steak is grilled to perfection, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Slice and serve with your favorite sides for a delicious, easy meal.
Tips:
- If you prefer a different level of doneness, adjust the grilling time accordingly. For medium, aim for 6β7 minutes per side, and for well-done, 8β10 minutes per side.
- Pair this steak with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be sliced thin and used in sandwiches or wraps for a tasty lunch the next day.
