SIRLOIN WITH CHIMICHURRI MARINADE
Chimichurri is a fresh herb-and-vinegar mixture used in Argentinean cuisine both for basting grilled meats and as a condiment. It's incredible with steak, as you will see!
1 cup (250ml) extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp chopped thyme
2 Tbsp chopped oregano
2 Tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 Tbsp chopped rosemary
1 chipotle chilli in adobo sauce, chopped
1 Tbsp sweet Spanish paprika
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
½ tsp sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1lb 50z (600g) top sirloin steak about 1 in (2.5cm) thick
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan until hot. Remove from the heat and set aside. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the steak, stir, and leave at room temperature to cool and infuse for 1 hour.
Pour one quarter of this marinade into a dish and add the steak, turning several times to coat. Reserve the remaining marinade to serve with the cooked steak. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to very hot and cook the steak for 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a chopping board and loosely cover with foil. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain.
Serve with the reserved marinade.
Serves 2.

If you're looking for grilling technique, many recipes recommend grilling sirloin steak over a direct-medium fire (350°F to 375°F) on a covered grill. For gas, start the grill on high to get the grilling surface searing hot, or for charcoal, spread the coals when ashed over into a single layer and cover the grill for about 5 minutes to get the grilling surface hot.
For grilling time we use the cookout calculator at charcoalbob.com. Enter the type of grill, thickness of your steak and the doneness you want. It will give you instructions for how to grill sirloin steak just the way you want it. It also has grilling tips.
Also, allow the steak to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling, and let it rest for 5 minutes after to keep it nice and juicy. If you're not marinating, we like to lightly spray our steaks with Pam for Grilling to help with searing and to keep them from sticking to the grill.

You can either marinate it in the marinade of your choice, or just tenderize it a bit and add a pinch of salt. Throw it on a hot grill and don't move it around! When it's seared on one side, flip. Repeat until you have nice grill marks and it's as done as you want.
