  1. As easy as it is to skip the butter/parsley addition, DON'T! It was too hot to bbq outside so I used my grill pan. I only made 1 lb of sirloin for the three of us (which is normally fine) and at the end of dinner we were all looking at the serving platter longing for more. I served this with sauteed crimini mushrooms and roasted asparagus. Just do it as it is written and all will be excellent with your steak!
     
  2. Okay, I'm convinced. At first I dismissed this very simple recipe, with its dehydrated onions and instant minced garlic, out-of-hand, then I saw all of the reviews and tried it. Yeah, it's awesome. There's almost no reason to buy ribeye or fillet anymore, when one can make sirloin taste this good. (Okay, I did use a small fresh shallot and fresh garlic because I didn't have the dehydrated stuff, but I'm sure it works well either way.)Amazing!
     
  3. I tried this recipe on two 1.5 lb sirloin steaks. I substituted the 1/4 c minced onion with 1/8 c granulated onion (not onion powder). I wasn't sure what the substitution ratio should be, but the marinade started getting thick so any more than that would not have worked. I tasted the marinade before pouring it over the beef - delish! I marinated for a little over 2 hours, then broiled 6 minutes on one side, flipped and broiled 5 minutes on the other. I let the steaks rest for about 15 minutes while I prepared the rest of the meal, then sliced against the grain. The meat was tender and flavorful and a perfect medium rare. Served with a steamed broccoli-cauliflower medley and sweet potato fries. Dinner was a big hit. Thank you, Dropbear!
     
  4. Pretty impressive. Sirloin isn't my favorite steak-cut, but this marinade makes the meat tender and delicious without overpowering flavors. I'll bet those who say they don't like marinated meat would like this recipe. I used lime juice instead of lemon, and Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb seasoning for the minced garlic. This recipe is a definite "keeper," and I'm going to experiment with other less-tender cuts of beef like flank steak or round steak. Thank you, Dropbear, for this great recipe. :)
     
  5. Great flavor, we used our vacuum sealer marinater for 30 minutes and added a little McCormick's steak seasoning right before grilling. I didn't have fresh parsley so used dried for the butter and it was amazing.

Tweaks

  1. Used fresh onions and fresh garlic
     
  2. I just requested a clarification for the size of the steak that this recipe is calling for.
     
  3. Oh baby! This is guh-ood! I had time for only a 15 minute soak in the marinade, so probably didn't get the FULL effect, but didn't matter--we were all totally IN LOVE! I always trim the fat, so that helps make it low-fat (or at least that's what I tell myself). I added minced fresh garlic instead of the parsley--mmmgood! I added the marinade to the melted butter...we made PIGS of ourselves dipping bite-size morsels into the sauce. What made it even better was the steak came from our very own beef...exquisite. The smell of the marinade drew the kids in, I didn't even have to call them for supper!
     
  4. My son was craving steak and picked up a sirloin at Fresh Market, I'm not a beef eater and I had to substitute the lemon(lime) juice with tangerine juice. Marinated the steak for an hour, only had a 1.5pm steak and broiled for 6 min on each side. He said it was the best he had ever tasted.
     
  5. I used 1/2 c. minced onion in place of the instant and 2 fresh garlic cloves instead of the instant, and it came out great. I think next time I may cut the lemon down to 1 T. and see how we like it. I marinated for about 5 hrs. and grilled our 1 " steaks over high heat for about 3 mins. on each side to come out perfectly med-rare in the middle. Thanks!
