Instructions
- Prep Your Sirloin Steak Bites:: First things first, grab that gorgeous sirloin steak and pat it super dry with paper towels. This step is honestly so important for getting a good sear later, so don’t skip it! Then, slice it against the grain into about 1-inch thick pieces, and then cube those into roughly 1-inch bites. You want them pretty uniform so they cook evenly. I always try to make them the same size, but sometimes a few rogue bigger ones sneak in there, and that’s okay! Just remember to keep an eye on them.
- Whip Up the Marinade:: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Give it a good whisk until everything is nicely combined. This is where all the magic happens, flavor-wise! I once forgot the honey and the marinade just felt… incomplete. It’s that touch of sweetness that really makes these Tender Grilled Sirloin Steak Bites sing. Don’t worry if it looks a little separated at first; keep whisking!
- Marinate the Tender Grilled Sirloin Steak Bites:: Add your prepared sirloin steak bites to the marinade, tossing them well to ensure every single piece is coated. You can use a bowl or a zip-top bag for this. I usually opt for a bag because it’s less messy and you can really squish it around to distribute the flavor. Pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. Honestly, I’ve done it for 20 minutes when I’m super short on time, and it still tastes amazing, but an hour is my sweet spot!
- Get the Grill Sizzling:: While your steak is marinating, go ahead and preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You want it nice and hot to get a good char on these Tender Grilled Sirloin Steak Bites. Make sure to clean your grill grates thoroughly and then lightly oil them. I sometimes forget to oil them properly and then I’m fighting with stuck steak, which is no fun at all. A little oil prevents a lot of heartache!
- Grill to Perfection:: Once your grill is hot, carefully place the marinated sirloin steak bites onto the grates, making sure not to overcrowd the grill. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes per side, turning them to get an even sear. You’re looking for a beautiful brown crust and a tender, juicy interior. This is where I often get distracted and almost overcook them, so stay focused! They cook fast, so keep an eye on them and don’t walk away.
- Rest and Garnish:: Once the Tender Grilled Sirloin Steak Bites are cooked to your liking (I like mine medium-rare to medium!), remove them from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board or platter for 5-10 minutes. This is CRUCIAL for juicy steak; it allows the juices to redistribute. While they’re resting, sprinkle generously with fresh chopped parsley. The vibrant green against the charred steak just looks so inviting, and the smell? Oh my goodness, it’s heavenly!
