Oven
Video of the Day
Step 1
Turn your oven to the broil setting.
Step 2
Place the steak in a pan so that the juices will be caught and will help keep the steak moist while it cooks.
Step 3
Transfer the pan into the oven once the broil temperature has been reached, and cook it for about 4 to 5 minutes depending on the size and thickness of the steak.
Step 4
Flip the steak and allow it to cook for another 4 to 5 minutes.
Grill
Step 1
Preheat the grill and spray oil on the cooking surface to prevent the meat from sticking to the grill.
Step 2
Place the steak on the grill and cook for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, depending on the size and thickness of the steak. As a general guideline, you should cook the steak 5minutes on each side for rare, 7 minutes on each side for medium rare to medium and 8 minutes for medium well to well done.
Step 3
Move the steak to a plate and serve.
Tip
Bottom sirloin cooks very fast because it is a boneless cut.
