Grilled Beef Sirloin with Herb Butter

In this adaptation to Western American cuisine, the Culottesteg is transformed into a grilled beef sirloin dish.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Beef sirloin — For a tender and juicy steak, make sure to let the beef sirloin rest after grilling before slicing it. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more flavorful and tender meat.

Tips & Tricks

• For a smokier flavor, you can use a charcoal grill instead of a gas grill.
• Adjust the grilling time based on your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches the desired internal temperature.
• Allow the herb butter to soften at room temperature before serving for easy spreading.
