Learn how to grill moist and tender sirloin steak with the seasoning of your choice or my special marinade. Sirloin steak is affordable and delicious with a hearty beef taste.
I originally called this recipe Bourbon Street Sirloin Steak a la Applebees, which seemed fine in 2010, but they changed their recipe a few years ago, and I preferred the old Applebee version slightly more than the current version, but my recipe is superior to both.
If this were a throw-down, I’d win—better taste, very tender, and moister than the 2010 (or current) Applebees version. I’ve always wondered how a relatively inexpensive piece of beef got so darn good.
The basic method of grilling sirloin works with the seasoning of your choice, so if you don’t have time for the marinade, skip it and just season and cook. A simple marinade for about an hour, followed by 9 to 12 minutes on the grill.
Last but not least, the Applebees version didn’t contain any bourbon because it was named after Bourbon Street, not the drink.
