How to cook top sirloin steak on a traeger
To cook top sirloin steak on a Traeger, follow these steps:
Preheat your Traeger grill to 450°F (232°C) for about 15 minutes.
Season the top sirloin steak with your preferred seasoning. You can use a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or experiment with different flavors.
Place the steak directly on the grill grates and close the lid.
Cook the steak for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C), medium around 145°F (63°C), and medium-well around 150°F (66°C).
Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat without touching the bone.
Once the steak reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more flavorful steak.
Slice the top sirloin steak against the grain, which helps to ensure tenderness.
Additional tips for cooking top sirloin steak on a Traeger:
For added flavor, you can marinate the steak before grilling. Consider using a marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and herbs.
If you prefer a smoky flavor, you can use wood pellets in your Traeger grill. Popular options for steak include hickory, mesquite, or oak.
To achieve a nice sear on the steak, you can briefly sear it on high heat before transferring it to the Traeger grill. This will help to lock in the juices and create a flavorful crust.
Experiment with different rubs and seasonings to find your favorite flavor combinations. Don't be afraid to get creative and try new ingredients.
Remember to let the steak rest after cooking. This step is crucial for a juicy and tender result.
