The perfect sirloin steak

[BigHenFor]

Quick tip from Marco Pierre White: in professional kitchens where they have several steaks on the go, they can't spend time touching each one. Instead, they sear both sides then watch for the juices rising to the surface of the meat. As soon as they start to pool on the surface of the meat, it is at medium rare. Stop cooking it and put it to rest on a warm plate, then cover with foil for 5 - 10 minutes. After that you will have a juicy, pink, and tender steak. I've tried it with a supermarket sirloin steak about 3/4 in thick, and it was so tender. Now, I don't prod or poke it any more. I just watch for those juices.

Whats with the people getting weird about people touching their food?  Most food gets touched in a kitchen.  If you don't trust your cook to have clean hands you probably shouldn't trust him to cook for you.

Followed these steps on a Walmart top sirloin steak. Great results! Thank you!

With the finger test you have to be careful if you are a person who does any sort of construction (or hard work using hands) because you spot will be a bit tougher than others.

Brought home a sirloin exactly like his. Cooked as instructed. Best sirloin steak of my life.

Bravo. This is about the best explained steak cooking basics demonstration I've seen. Great job Chris! ...I know this is 6+ years ago but hey, I'm just getting back into cooking //correctly// so it works!:-)

Thanks for the tips. I like mine medium well and cooked it for 4 minutes following your suggestions. Perfect.

That's a good thing. Actually, I prefer searing my steak hard core to get that crunch, then slow cook it to medium rare. Yum.

thank you for explaining the palm test, I had no idea what that was at first.

This video is clear well presented, easy to understand and very well put together for a none cook like myself even I could cook a steak now well done.

Use a cast iron pan...makes a huge difference in taste!

[velvetnightmare]

Great video, thanks!!! I'm so excited to cook dinner today. Unrelated, will he sanitize the salt and pepper shakers after?

Used this method and I got a wonderful rare - medium rare sirloin steak, and from my local butchers! Wonderful smithers

Red cutting board for raw meat but just cross contaminated the seasoning jars after handling the meat. 🤔

WOW! I have never been able to make a good steak and FINALLY I was successful after watching this video! Thank you SO much!

They won't respect you for ordering a well-done steak but they'll respect you for using a teflon non-stick shallow grill pan. I've definitely seen those in every kitchen I've worked in. Also, using a spatula to flip a steak. You've got my respect there..

Turned out great! I was putting oil in the pan, and I guess it was too much. Brushing it on seemed to be perfect. I maybe should've cooked it longer, but i was impatient and don't mind rarer steak. Overall, a helpful video. 5 stars.

What a shame Chris doesn't have more videos on this channel.

[oldproji]

Yep, that's how I cook my steaks. The finger test works every time and resting is essential if you want a moist, tender steak.
