Its only a bloody Sirloin ffs!
That is the worst steak meat there is!

Now if it was a rump, T'bone, Porterhouse or Fillet it would be worth doing well.


Oooer, somebody's tired!   :angry:

Nah, old man syndrome  :grin:

Nope! I just like the best quality steak!
And that aint sirloin.
Why try and make a silk purse out of a pigs ear?

Why try and make a mk3 look good?
the
I knew someone would say something like that as soon as the purse comment was posted!

Was thinking more along the lines of polishing a turd though!  :grin:

Sorry if I've put you off your steak, enjoy!  :laugh:

There is so much wrong with the above post. Everyone knows that blokes cook the best steak - it's a primal thing!

The way I cooked sirloin on Monday:

Remove steak from fridge and sit at room temperature for an hour AT LEAST.

Oil the steak, not the pan - a small amount of olive oil is all you need. Add freshly ground black pepper and Maldon Sea Salt to each side.

Get a griddle pan smoking hot (literally). Lower steak gently into the pan. 1 -1/2 minutes per side depending on thickness.  Serve with double-fried chips (you can't have steak with anything else) grilled tomato, peas and garlic mushrooms. And onion rings if you're a fat b'stard.

But I agree 110% - if you want a really nice steak there are better cuts available than sirloin - and you really should buy it from a good butcher.

It was sirloin as it didn't exactly find it's way into my possession legally so, as it was dirt cheap, I didn't really mind that it was inferior (as some suggest although I'm pretty sure it is a matter of taste) steak.

In case you were wondering.

Heated a cast iron grill to max temperature. Brushed at room temperature with good olive oil. Layed on the grill with no garlic, pepper or salt for 60 seconds a side.

It was yummy with fat chips, grilled tomato and fried mushrooms.
