Spice rubbed sirloin is a flavorful and juicy steak, perfectly seasoned with aromatic spices, creating a crispy exterior while maintaining tenderness on the inside. Simple to prepare, this dish brings a steakhouse-quality meal to your table.

Ingredients

  • 2 sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
  • Spice Rub:
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, mustard, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Pat the sirloin steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil, then generously coat the steaks with the spice rub, pressing gently to ensure the spices adhere well.
  3. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  4. For grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting for your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, 150°F for well-done).
  5. For pan-searing: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting for your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
  6. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  7. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
