Sirloin Steak
Sirloin Steak
Sirloin is a well-flavoured steak cut from the large back muscle. It has a bigger, beefier flavour than a fillet or rib-eye steak, meaning it is more suitable for highly flavoured sauces.
Matured for a minimum of 28 Days, sirloin is one of our best-selling steaks. Choose from our 8oz or 10oz individual sirloin steaks, or great value steak packs.

To shallow fry a steak using the given instructions, follow these steps:
-
Rub or brush the steak with a little oil on both sides. This will help prevent sticking and enhance the flavor. Season the steak with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences.
-
Heat a heavy-based frying pan over high heat for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smoking hot. The high heat will help sear the steak and create a flavorful crust.
-
Once the pan is hot, carefully place the seasoned steak in the dry pan. Be cautious as the pan and oil may sizzle and splatter.
-
Cook the steak over high heat for 1 minute on each side. This initial high-heat sear will help to lock in the juices and develop a delicious outer crust.
-
Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the steak. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side for a rare steak, 2-3 minutes on each side for a medium steak, or 4-5 minutes on each side for a well-done steak. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference and the thickness of the steak. Thicker steaks will require more cooking time.
-
Once the steak reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the pan and let it rest for about 3 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
-
After the resting period, your steak is ready to be served. You can slice it against the grain for a tender bite.
Remember that these instructions are given as a guideline and the cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and personal preferences. It's always a good idea to use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches the desired internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done. Enjoy your delicious shallow-fried steak!
