Bought 2 huge boneless top sirloin steaks...

[aryn12205]

So how do I cook them? They're about 1.5 inches thick and a foot long each. We don't own a grill, but I couldn't pass up the sale and would LOVE to have a great steak. I have been seriously missing out on all the possibilities of this amazing WOE.

What do you guys suggest I do with these perfect looking steaks?

I always throw my steaks into a hot skillet w/ some ghee and then put salt, pepper and garlic powder on them. Turn when they have a dark crust on the bottom and let it cook until done to your satisfaction. I like mine rare and don't let it cook too long or get too dark a crust on it. Ok, now I'm wanting a steak.

Season and broil for 7 min on each side. It comes out perfect every time! DH and I just had one for dinner last night along with buttered broccoli. So delish!

Thanks a bunch! I guess I'll just eye-ball them on the stove.

Thats why I like the broiler. Plus it works better for such a large steak like that. Just toss it on a sheet pan, heat up the broiler, throw it in and set the timer. Then flip, and set the timer again. Its done in 15min.

Exactly! Broil them in the oven.

You can even use a cookie sheet if you don't have a broiler pan.

How far from the broiler and how does the steak come out? Rare, medium rare, etc.? Thanks I like mine rare to medium rare.

I have my top rack on the second slot so when the broiler pan is in there the steaks are 4 inches or so away from the elements.

I like mine medium and I do a 1'' steak, for 8-10 minutes. I don't usually flip mine.

Webber has a great burger seasoning that's great on steaks.

DH browns them first in the skillet with butter. Then he puts them in the broiler to finish them off. Mmmmmmmmm, now I want steak!!!

Medium rare. You have to adjust the cooking time depending on how thick they are though. I do 7 min on each side for about 1 1/2 - 2in thickness. If they are thin then you only want to do like 5 min on each side. My broiler is in the bottom of my stove so it is only like 3 or 4 inches from the heating element.

Don't want this thread to get away.

So I'm about to make 'em! I'm thinking I'll pan-fry them in butter until just browned, and then stick them in the broiler for about 5 min on each side, maybe more.
