    Note: The full list of this recipe ingredients with their amounts and options are listed in the recipe card below.

    • Top sirloin steak
    • Kosher Salt
    • Black Pepper
    • Sweet Cherry Peppers in Brine
    • Raw Honey
    • Olive Oil
    • Baby Bella Mushrooms (small portabella mushrooms)
    • Shallot
    • Garlic

    🗒 Instructions

    Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The full instructions are in the recipe card below.

    First set of four steps for the seared top sirloin steak recipe.
    1. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Then, allow the sirloin steaks to rest to room temperature for 20 - 30 minutes.
    2. In a small bowl, whisk together the pepper, honey, and 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil until combined. Season with salt if desired.
    3. Cook the steak for about 5-7minutes, flipping halfway through, until there is a nice crust on the outside and the meat is cooked to your desired doneness. (We prefer a good medium rare cook for this dish. The meat will continue to cook when you transfer the meat to your platter or cutting board.)
    4. Carefully clean out the skillet ( you may use a paper towel) and add the remaining oil and mushrooms, turning the mushrooms to coat them with the oil. Cook the mushrooms for about 5 minutes, or until they are browned and starting to crisp.
    Second set of four steps making the seared top sirloin steak with mushrooms recipe.
    1. Remove from heat and add the shallots and garlic, cooking for another minute or so, until the shallots have softened.
    2. Slice the top sirloin steaks and add to the mushroom mixture.
    3. Drizzle with the pepper vinaigrette.
    4. Taste and season with salt if necessary. Serve immediately.

    Does top sirloin make a good steak?

    Top sirloin is a great option for a steak because it is lean and has a lot of flavor. It's also relatively affordable, so it's a great choice if you're looking for a budget-friendly meal.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Tips

    • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use any other type of skillet. However, I find that the cast iron skillet really helps to lock in the flavor and juices of the steak.
    • If you don't have sweet cherry peppers, you can use any type of pepper that you like.
    • Make sure that your skillet is hot because you start searing your steak. You want them to cook quickly.
    • For medium steaks, cook the steaks to an internal temperature of at least 140 degrees.
    • Cracked peppercorn will give a richer flavor to these steaks.

    📚 Variations

    • Instead of the pepper vinaigrette you can top this steak and mushrooms recipe with garlic butter for better flavor.
    • Another option to remove the steak and mushrooms from your skillet and add flour and beef broth to make a brown gravy to serve on top.
    • If you like onions, you can sauté some onions while you are cooking your mushrooms for my flavor.
    • For a spicy kick add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to your pepper dressing.

    🥫 Storage

    This steak and mushroom recipe is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
