Ingredients

  • Beef sirloin steaks - 300 grams
  • Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, chopped parsley, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Place the beef sirloin steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
  3. Preheat a grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
  5. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
  6. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
