   Prepare the Sirloin

   Season the 10 oz sirloin steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Cook the Sirloin

   Place the seasoned sirloin on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time according to your desired doneness. Once cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

In the same pan, melt 2 tbsp of butter, then whisk in 1 cup of flour and 1 tsp of baking powder to create a roux. Gradually add 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Add the cooked sausage and jalapenos to the gravy, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
