Top Sirloin Steaks
4 count (6 oz. ea.)
Fresh Garlic Chopped
1 tsp.
RC Mushroom Base
1 tsp.
Olive Oil
1 Tbsp.
Preparation Steps
1
Create Savory Rub
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. RC Mushroom Base, and 1 tsp. chopped fresh garlic to create a savory seasoning paste.
2
Temper & Apply
Remove steaks from refrigeration and allow them to come to room temperature (approx. 20–30 minutes) to ensure even cooking. Rub the steak surfaces thoroughly with the seasoned paste.
3
Grill to Perfection
Preheat grill to high heat. Sear the steaks to your desired level of doneness (e.g., 125°F internal for Medium-Rare).
4
Rest, Slice & Serve
Remove from heat and allow the steaks to rest for at least 5 minutes. Resting is essential for the muscle fibers to relax and reabsorb juices, ensuring a tender and flavorful slice. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.
Chef Notes & Umami Elevation
Umami Coating Technique: Because RC Mushroom Base is packed with natural savory amino acids, it creates a superior flavor crust compared to salt alone when seared on a hot grill.
The Importance of Tempering: Always temper beef to room temperature before grilling. Cold steak entering a hot grill surface causes the exterior to char too quickly while the interior remains undercooked.
Resting Science: Slicing steak immediately after grilling forces the internal juices to run out onto the cutting board. Resting for 5 minutes allows the proteins to hold onto those juices, creating a buttery texture in every bite.
