Broiled Sirloin Steak
Deliciously juicy steak cooked right in your oven using the broiler and a cast iron pan. This easy method gives you a flavorful crust and tender center without needing the grill.
Servings: 1 steak
Ingredients
- 1½ lb petite sirloin steak about 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- McCormick Montreal Steak or Smokehouse Maple seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler on high and place an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Pat steak dry with a paper towel. Use a pastry brush (or your hands) to coat both sides of the steak with oil. Season generously on both sides with your preferred steak seasoning.
- Place the steak in a cast iron skillet (no need to preheat the pan). Put the skillet on the top rack under the broiler.
- Broil your steak based on your desired doneness. Check the doneness chart in the notes to help guide your broil time based on how you like your steak cooked. Flip halfway through cooking.
- Remove the pan from the oven and tent the steak loosely with foil. Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes so the juices can redistribute.
