Citrus Sirloin Steak Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + marinating Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 6-8 Servings

15 20 35

Ingredients

2 medium unpeeled lemons, quartered
1 medium unpeeled orange, quartered
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 beef top sirloin steak (about 2-1/2 pounds and about 1-3/4 inches thick)

Directions

In a skillet, cook the lemon and orange wedges in oil over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic; cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer. Place steak in a shallow glass baking dish; pierce meat every inch with a fork. Pour citrus mixture over meat; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning three or four times.
Drain and discard marinade. On a covered grill over medium-hot heat, cook steak for 9-10 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Yield: 6-8 servings.
