Just like our selection of Fillet steak and Rump steak, our whole sirloin steak comes from a wide variety of origins and feeds, including Wagyu sirloin, Angus sirloin, Australian varieties, and more, all sourced from either corn-fed or grass-fed herds.
The sirloin is cut from the back of the cow at the rear, attached via the commonly known ‘T bone’. The sirloin cut, which is often referred to as the strip or striploin, is situated in between the rib, flank, and rump of the cow.
Sirloin steak doesn’t need to be marinated, but it certainly helps to add flavour and make it more tender. This is because the acidity of the marinade breaks down the meat tissue. If you want to give your sirloin steak more flavour during the cooking process, try basting your steak with butter, garlic, and thyme.
Prep your Sirloin steaks by removing them from your fridge and liberally applying salt and pepper to every side of the whole steak, then allow the steaks to come up to room temperature. This should take 10 minutes approximately.
Add oil to a pan on high heat. Place the steaks in the pan on their side, with the fat facing down to render. Once the fat has browned, turn them over so they are flat and add butter, garlic and thyme. Cook on both sides until your steak is done to your preference, basting in the butter and oil as you go.
Once cooked, allow the whole Sirloin steaks a minute or two to rest. This allows the steak time to settle and keep its juice, preventing excess juices from filling the plate.
