Some friends gave me some top sirloin they want me to prepare on Halloween. They are frozen and not flat. What is the most successful way to thaw these and what is a good method for preparing Top Sirloin which is a cut I never buy.
When in the water bowl have the water running into the bowl slowly. After an hour they will be ready to go in the fridge and ready to take out several hours before cooking
I think top sirloin steak works well with teriyaki or other Asian marinades. I’ve been making a marinade of soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, green onions and ginger. Sometimes I add a little sesame oil and/or a little honey.
I would cut into 2-3" chunks, marinade as Truett suggests, and grill. Wipe the marinade off the meat prior to cooking, boil the marinade to thicken, and glaze for the last minute of grilling (avoids burning any sugar). Cheers
They have you use a bunch of oil which splattered and did make a huge mess. The steak ended up taking on an oily flavor which I did not appreciate. I also did not like the texture as much. Also, you cannot pre-salt the meat. I will take a thawed steak on the grill any day over the test kitchen method.
