INGREDIENTS

  • 2-1 LB top sirloin steaks
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Bourbon Glaze:
  • ¾ cup bourbon
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water for roux

DIRECTIONS: COOKING WITH A CAST IRON SKILLET

1. Take your top sirloin out of the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.  Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat with 2 tablespoons of canola oil.  Season steaks with garlic salt and pepper.  Once oil begins to smoke add steaks to skillet.  ​
2. Cook steaks 5 minutes each side or until desired doneness and remove from heat.
3. Let steaks “rest,” and prepare the bourbon sauce.  In a medium bowl combine bourbon, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar minced garlic and honey.  Bring to a boil in a sauce pan.  Combine cornstarch and water or roux and pour into sauce and mix to incorporate.  Reduce heat and allow sauce to thicken (about 5 minutes).  
4. Pour bourbon sauce over top sirloin steaks garnish with fresh rosemary and serve with roasted potatoes or garlic butter mushrooms. 

cooking sirloin in oven:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and season sirloin steaks with garlic salt and pepper
  2. Heat a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat, heat canola oil until it begins to smoke.  Add steaks and pan sear for 2 minutes on each side
  3. Place skillet in the oven and roast steaks for 8 minutes a side, for medium rare.  If you want your sirloin steak cooked medium or well, increase the time
