Questions about Top sirloin steak
How do you cook top sirloin steak in a frying pan?
Pat it dry, season it, then sear in a very hot, lightly oiled pan for about 2–3 minutes per side for a 2.5 cm steak. Check the thickest part with a thermometer; for food safety, cook to 63 °C and rest for at least 3 minutes.
How do you grill top sirloin steak without drying it out?
Heat the barbecue until the grates are very hot, then grill a 2.5 cm steak for about 2–3 minutes per side, turning once. Rest it for 5 minutes before slicing across the grain; use a thermometer to check that the centre reaches 63 °C, then rest for at least 3 minutes.
How can you tell when top sirloin steak is done?
A meat thermometer gives a more reliable result than judging by colour: check the centre of the thickest part. Cook whole cuts to 63 °C, then leave them to rest for at least 3 minutes.
How should you store top sirloin steak?
Keep raw steak covered on the bottom shelf of the fridge and use it within 3–5 days of purchase. Freeze it in an airtight wrapping if you will not cook it in that time, and thaw it in the fridge rather than on the worktop.
What dishes can you make with top sirloin steak?
It works well sliced across the grain in steak fajitas, stir-fries and steak salads, or served whole with chips and peppercorn sauce. For stir-frying, slice it thinly across the grain and cook it quickly over high heat.
Can you use top sirloin steak instead of top round steak?
Yes. Both suit grilling or pan-frying, but top sirloin has 4.6 g fat per 100 g, compared with 4.78 g in top round steak, so the latter is slightly leaner.
How much protein is in a serving of top sirloin steak?
A typical steak portion is about 113 g and provides 22 g of protein per 100 g. Serve it with vegetables or a grain such as rice or barley for a more complete meal.
