These Bacon Wrapped Sirloin Steaks are an easy way to turn any meal into a special occasion. Each tender sirloin steak is wrapped in thick-cut bacon for rich, smoky flavor, then basted with a savory rosemary garlic butter as it cooks. Grilled to your preferred level of doneness, these juicy steaks deliver steakhouse-quality flavor at home. Serve with a loaded baked potato and a fresh salad for a complete, crowd-pleasing grilled dinner.

Easy Bacon Wrapped Sirloin Steaks Recipe

Grilling is a year-round activity at our house. While I enjoy grilling most anything, grilling bacon wrapped steak is a bonafide treat. When it comes to grilling a prime cut of beef I think that simpler seasonings are the best giving the beef center stage. As far as seasoning, when my kitchen garden is in it’s prime I can’t resist making all sorts of flavored basting concoctions and fresh rosemary is the star in this butter basting sauce. There’s nothing like going straight from the plant to the plate, it’s magnificent.

The garlic rosemary herb butter adds such incredible flavor to these sirloin medallions and the rosemary is growing only feet from my kitchen counter. I love it! Serve these sirloin steaks with a loaded Air Fryer Baked Potato, a Seven Layer Salad and a basket of Homestyle Garlic Bread for a restaurant quality meal at your own kitchen table.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

Beef – You could adapt this top sirloin recipe using filet mignon. Beef tenderloin will cook quicker than thick-cut sirloin steaks, so depending on the thickness, decrease the cooking time by 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
Garlic – You can use fresh garlic or roasted garlic.
Grilling Options – You can make these steaks on a charcoal grill, gas grill or a grill pan indoors.
Herbs – You can use fresh chives or fresh thyme in place of rosemary to change the flavor profile.
Olive Oil – You can use olive oil in place of butter, if desired.
You Can Easily Adjust the Servings – The beauty of this recipe is, that you can make two steaks or six steaks. The ingredients are easily adaptable and you can make just the amount that you need for a meal.
Grill the Steak to Your Desired Doneness – I’ve given grilling time guidelines in the recipe for how long to grill bacon wrapped sirloin. I recommend you don’t grill this particular cut past medium for the best results. Adjust to your liking, of course.
Don’t Overcook the Meat – Keep in mind that top sirloin is a rather lean cut of beef so over cooking it will ruin it. Err on the side of under cooking rather than over cooking. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature to prevent over cooking or under cooking the steak grill.

Storage and Leftovers

Make-Ahead Tip for the Butter – You can prepare the seasoned butter in advance then reheat just before serving for a time saver.
Make-Ahead Tip for Sirloin Steaks – You can wrap the sirloin steaks with pieces of bacon, secure them with a toothpick then place into an airtight container and pop them into the fridge prior to grilling. When doing so, bring the steaks out of the fridge and let them stand for 30-45 minutes to come to room temperature prior to grilling.
Leftovers – Store leftover steak in an airtight container chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheating Leftovers – Grilled steak is best made and enjoyed hot off the grill. Should you have any leftover you can turn it into steak quesadillas, chop and gently warm with barbecue sauce on a toasted kaiser roll, cut it up and enjoy on a salad or gently reheat and make a cheesesteak sandwich.
Freezer – You can freeze leftovers for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge and gently reheat just before serving.
