Top Sirloin Cooking

Grilling Method:

20 minutes using a Grill and Microwave* if steaks are thawed. Thaw steaks overnight in refrigerator OR use the Quick Thaw Method of placing vacuum packed steaks in cold water for 30-40 minutes.
1. Preheat grill on HIGH or prepare coals.
2. Remove steaks from packaging and season with ¼ teaspoon of Natural Seasoning. Set aside.
3. Place steaks on preheated grill and sear for 4 - 5 minutes.
4. Cut slit in film covering Glazed Julienne Carrots. Remove film covering Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Place trays in microwave and cook on HIGH for 5 minutes.
5. Flip steaks and continue cooking for 4 - 5 minutes, for a medium steak. Remove carrots from microwave. Stir potatoes and continue cooking on HIGH for 1 minute. Let potatoes stand for 1-2 minutes.
6. Remove steaks from grill to a clean plate. Plate and serve with potatoes and carrots.

Sear Roasting Method:

20 minutes using a Conventional Oven and Microwave* if Top Sirloins are thawed. Thaw steaks overnight in refrigerator OR use the Quick Thaw Method of placing vacuum packed steaks in cold water for 30-40 minutes.
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Remove steaks from packaging and season with ¼ teaspoon of Natural Seasoning. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in oven safe** sauté pan over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. When oil is hot, add steaks to the pan and sear until nicely browned, about 2 minutes on each side.
4. Cut slit in film covering Glazed Julienne Carrots and remove film covering Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Place trays in microwave and cook on HIGH for 5 minutes.
5. Place sauté pan on oven center rack and roast 4-6 minutes (4 minutes for rare or 5-6 minutes for medium). Carefully remove sauté pan from oven using a heavy-duty hot pad.
6. Remove carrots from microwave, stir potatoes and continue cooking on HIGH for 1 minute. Let potatoes stand for 1-2 minutes
7. Remove potatoes from microwave, plate with carrots and serve with steaks.
* Cooking time based on 1100-watt microwave with turntable. Adjust time for lower wattage microwaves. If not using a turntable, rotate once while cooking.
** An oven safe sauté pan would tolerate up to 500°F and would not have plastic or wooden handles. A cast iron skillet works well.
