“Holy Steaks Batman!”
Steaks at work! Yeah baby! That’s what I’m talking about! We had won a contest and now we were celebrating with grilled sirloin steaks for lunch.
The barbecue pit belongs to one of my friends at work and that is what we normally use because of its size and because it holds heat pretty well. On the menu were just steaks and …more steaks!
As usual, start the fire in advance, we were using Cowboy Mesquite Charcoal which gave off that rich smoky flavor we all have come to enjoy here to my parts.
The sirloin steaks in the above photo came seasoned from the butcher at a local meat market, so all we had to do is prepare the grill and that was it. A quick marinade for something like this is to mix together 2 tablespoons light olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 crushed garlic, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon fresh black pepper, 1 tablespoon coarse salt, and 3-4 tablespoons juice (orange or pineapple) and mix together. Add steaks for 20-30 minutes or if you have time an hour or 2 will be great. For the grilling times, we cooked them for 15-20 minutes turning over halfway through the grilling time. Keep in mind…the size of that BBQ pit verses what you may own. You may want to move over some of the coals ever so slightly to prevent charring the beef and not allowing the center to cook to your desired tastes. Serve and enjoy!
This sirloin steak with its marinade is sure to satisfy any hungry person in your home!

The cooking times always varies depending on the size of grill and how hot it is. Keep a sharp eye on the food on the grill and don't be hesitant to actually poke a steak while on the grill to check the color of the juices.
