Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, marinate the sirloin steaks in a mixture of garlic, olive oil, and herbs for at least an hour before grilling.
- If you have leftover garlic butter, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can use it for other beef recipes for dinner or spread on bread.
- To achieve the perfect grill marks, avoid flipping the steaks too soon. Let them sear for 4 to 5 minutes on each side before turning.
- For an easy swap, use different herbs like rosemary or thyme in your butter sauce for a unique twist.
- If the garlic butter sauce is too thick, simply add a splash of warm water to thin it out for a better drizzle.
