How to Cook Boneless Bottom Sirloin Steaks

Bottom sirloin is flavorful cut, but is not as tender as top sirloin.

Bottom sirloin steaks are boneless pieces of meat that come from the upper hip of a cow. Bottom sirloin is flavorful cut, but is not as tender as top sirloin. Tenderize the meat by marinating it overnight in a mixture of spice and oil, which will moisturize the steaks prior to cooking. Cook the steaks just until done. An overcooked bottom sirloin steak will be as tough as leather.

Things You'll Need

• 2 pounds boneless bottom sirloin steaks, trimmed
• Plastic bag with seal
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Place the bottom sirloin steaks in a plastic bag with a seal. Combine in a small bowl 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp. brown sugar, 2 tsp. each of garlic and onion powder, and 1 tsp. each of cayenne powder and dried parsley.

2. Pour the oil mixture into the plastic bag, seal the plastic bag and shake to coat the meat. Place the bag in the refrigerator to allow the meat to marinate overnight. Remove the marinated meat, place on a platter and salt and pepper to taste.

3. Cook the steaks on the stove by heating 2 tbsp. of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for four to five minutes, per side, until cooked through.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also broil or grill the steaks. Broil by placing the meat in an ovenproof skillet under the broiler for four to five minutes per side. Grill on a charcoal or gas grill for five minutes per side.
