Sirloin steak n chips..

[JonnyP]

I am not much of a beef eater, but I have a couple of sirloin steaks and am wondering whats the best way to cook them so they won't be tough n chewy or bloody.
I would want them fully cooked.
I imagine frying slowly over well spread embers, but I don't know anything about steaks, so please advise..
Chips are no problem.. Par boil to cook, then season and fry, turning often.. Yum

If you have to have them well cooked, then beat them with a rolling pin and I mean beat. That will tenderise the meat then cook in a nice hot skillet.

Cheers big ears..

Papaya is a great tenderizer. Maybe include some in your marinade, sear it and smoke it until fully cooked. Should be tender.

NO JOHNNY well done steaks are sacrilege

Steaks are a funny old thing. If you've got a crap one it'll be tough no matter what you do to it. If you've got a good one it'll be tender.

Pan fry it. Super heat the pan with a tiny bit of oil wiped around it. Then throw the steak in. It depends how thick the steak is but if it's roughly 1/2 - 3/4" thick cook it for about 2 1/2 mins either side for it to be well done but still juicy.

P.S. Don't listen to Scotty. You have your steaks exactly how YOU like em.

Cheers chaps.. I cannot be done with soggy meat. I like a bit of crunch on the outside.
Just realised what I have written, but can't be arsed to change it..

If you sear both sides, then reduce the heat and cook it slowly, it will keep the juice inside the meat thus keeping it tender.

If you are a 'well done person' then the last few minutes can be with the heat increased.

Simples!
