Making steaks on the grill? What cut of steak is your go-to choice for grilling? I have always preferred Ribeye. Today I did a little research about sirloin steak. I have long been of the opinion that sirloin steak was a lesser cut of steak. Because they’re on sale I decided to ask the Heinen’s butcher about cooking sirloin.

He explained that, although some sirloin cuts are better suited for stews or fajitas, Heinen’s cuts a better quality, well-marbled, sirloin that they call their Sirloin Filet. I was slightly skeptical but was happily surprised when this cut of steak turned out to be tender, juicy and favorable. Total win.

I made these beautiful steaks with a rub of coffee, brown sugar and Heinen’s Two Brothers steak seasoning. It was delicious as-is but we LOVE chimichurri so I added this delicious herb mix to the top of our sliced sirloins. I also served it with my amazing potatoes. I don’t boast often but these potatoes are the BOMB! Instead of simply cutting and then roasting potatoes I boil them first for just 5 minutes then drain them. When they are cool enough to handle I cut them into half or quarters and THEN roast them in 425° oven until the edges are brown and crispy. This extra step changes the starches so that the outside caramelizes and the inside is soft and smooth. Best roasted potatoes ever. 

I used some of the steak to make a salad for my daughter and her friend for lunch. I started with a mix of baby arugula and baby spinach. I added steak, tomatoes, chimichuri, pecans and goat cheese and a drizzle of Heinen’s Balsamic Fig salad dressing. NEW FAVORITE!!!
