Ingredients

  • 6 (6-8 oz) 2-inch thick top sirloin fillets
  • 6 slices thick cut bacon
  • kosher salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • Rosemary Herb Garlic Butter:
  • 4 Tbsp butter melted
  • 2 large garlic cloves finely minced (Use fresh or roasted garlic)
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  • toothpicks soaked in water

Instructions

  • Wrap each sirloin fillet with a strip of bacon. Secure with toothpicks. Season steaks lightly with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides of the steak.
  • Butter: In a small bowl stir together melted butter, rosemary, parsley garlic and salt. Brush steaks on all sides with the seasoned butter.
  • Grill: Oil the grates of a gas grill and preheat to 450°F. Place steaks on the grill.
  • Sear the steak on one side grilling for 3 minutes. Use tongs to rotate the steak 1/4 turn and sear for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Turn and repeat with the other side. Sear for 3 minutes, then make a 1/4 turn and grill for an additional 3 minutes. Continue to baste on all sides with the seasoned butter.
  • Grill for 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, 8-10 minutes per side for medium. Adjust timing to your preference
  • Remove to a platter and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Remove toothpicks prior to serving.

Notes

    • 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.
    • 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 parsley or rosemary to change the flavor profile.
    • Olive Oil: You can use olive oil in place of butter, if desired.
    • Assemble Ahead of Time: 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.
