Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Steak
Start by trimming any excess fat from the top sirloin. Pat the meat dry with paper towels.
2. Season the Meat
Rub the top sirloin with olive oil, then season generously with coarse sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary if using. Make sure to rub the seasoning into the meat for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F or 230-260°C).
4. Grill the Alcatra
Place the seasoned top sirloin on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on your preferred doneness.
5. Rest the Meat
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
6. Slice and Serve
Slice the alcatra against the grain into thin slices and serve immediately, optionally with chimichurri sauce or your favorite sides.
