Welcome to this tutorial on how to cook a delicious Sirloin Steak using the Kamado Joe grill. If you’re a fan of grilling and looking to elevate your steak game, you’ve come to the right place!
Ingredients:
- 1 Sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Your favorite steak seasoning
Instructions:
1. Prepare your Kamado Joe grill:
Start by lighting up your Kamado Joe grill and preheating it to around 500°F (260°C). Ensure that the grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
2. Season the steak:
To enhance the flavor of your sirloin steak, generously season it with salt, pepper, and your favorite steak seasoning. Rub the seasonings into both sides of the meat, making sure it is evenly coated.
3. Let the steak rest:
Allow the seasoned steak to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help bring it closer to room temperature, ensuring more even cooking throughout.
4. Sear on high heat:
Carefully place the sirloin steak directly on the hot grill grates.
Searing helps create a beautiful crust on the outside of the meat while sealing in its juices. Cook each side for approximately 2-4 minutes depending on your desired level of doneness.
5. Indirect cooking:
Once the steak is seared to perfection, move it to the indirect heat zone of your grill.
This can be achieved by placing the steak away from direct flames or by using a heat deflector. Close the lid to retain heat and let the steak continue cooking.
6. Check for doneness:
Using a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of your sirloin steak.
For medium-rare, look for a temperature of around 135°F (57°C). Remember that the meat will continue cooking even after it’s off the grill, so consider removing it when it’s a few degrees below your desired temperature.
7. Let it rest:
Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5-10 minutes on a cutting board. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a tender and flavorful bite.
8. Slice and serve:
Slice your sirloin steak against the grain into thin strips.
This cutting technique helps ensure tenderness and makes it easier to chew. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Cooking a sirloin steak on your Kamado Joe grill is an excellent way to enjoy a flavorful and juicy piece of meat with that perfect smoky char. Follow these steps, experiment with different seasonings, and soon you’ll be impressing family and friends with your grilling skills!
