How to Make this Grilled Top Sirloin Steak

- Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine some of the Cajun spice with butter, lime zest, parsley, and chives.
- Step 3: Place the butter on a piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board.
- Step 4: Roll the butter into a log and refrigerate until the steaks are done grilling.
- Step 5: Season the sides of each steak with the rest of the Cajun spice mix. Rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Step 6: Heat the grill to 450 degrees F and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve with Cajun butter.
Recipe Tips
- If you don’t want to use top sirloin, regular sirloin steak will also work; ribeye steaks and New York steaks will also work.
- For best results, don’t skip the resting phase, as that’s when all of the juices circulate and ensure even and thorough cooking.
- If you’re unsure how long to cook your steak to get it to the perfect level of doneness, use a meat thermometer to check for the correct internal temperature:
- Rare: 120°F – 125°F
- Medium Rare: 130°F – 135°F
- Medium Doneness: 140°F – 145°F
- Medium Well: 150°F – 155°F
- Well Done: 160°F – 165°F
- Remove your steaks from the grill about 5 degrees under your goal temperature–carry over heat will finish the cooking.
