Preparing a Delicious Sirloin Steak on Your George Foreman Grill
Choosing the Perfect Sirloin Steak Cut

Seasoning and Preparing the Steak
Before cooking, take the sirloin steak out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides generously with your favorite steak seasoning blend. Consider a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for a classic flavor profile.

Related Questions:
Can You Marinade the Sirloin Steak Before Cooking?
Yes, marinating your sirloin steak before cooking on the George Foreman Grill can add extra flavor and tenderness. Choose a marinade that complements the beef, such as a mixture of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and herbs. Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes up to overnight for the best results.
Should You Oil the George Foreman Grill Before Cooking the Sirloin Steak?
It is not necessary to oil the George Foreman Grill before cooking the sirloin steak, as the grill plates are designed to be non-stick. However, you can brush a thin layer of oil directly onto the steak to help with browning and prevent sticking. Use high-heat oils like canola or avocado oil.
How Do You Know When the Sirloin Steak is Done?
To check the doneness of your sirloin steak, use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be around 130-135°F. Additionally, you can use the touch test: press the steak with your finger – if it feels like the fleshy part of your palm below your thumb, it’s medium-rare!
