Sirloin Steak With Tomato Sauce
Description
This recipe begins by marinating top sirloin steaks in a mix of Italian dressing powder, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar for at least two hours to infuse flavor and tenderize the meat. After bringing the steaks to room temperature, they are grilled over medium heat for about 8 minutes per side until medium doneness is reached. The internal temperature target is 145°F.
For the tomato basil sauce, garlic is gently sautéed in olive oil to a light golden color. San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil sprigs, and dried crushed red pepper are processed to a pulsed puree and then simmered with the garlic mixture until reduced. The sauce's fresh basil and slight heat complement the grilled sirloin's char and richness.
This dish is a straightforward way to enjoy steak with a flavorful tomato sauce suitable for a hearty meal. The sauce can be spooned over the steak or served on the side. Garnishing with additional basil sprigs adds herbal brightness.
For variety, the tomato basil sauce can be swapped with a creamy blue cheese sauce for a richer, tangy alternative to the tomato base.
