Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, 1 to 1 1/4-inches thick
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven on broiler setting. Make foil 'snake' out of aluminum foil to use to keep oven door slightly ajar so that broiler won't turn off if it gets too hot. Brush steak with oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Place a piece of foil on the bottom rack as a drip pan. Place another rack in the position above this and put the steak directly on this rack. Cook steak in this position for 5 minutes. Flip steak and cook for another 5 minutes. Move rack with steak to top position in oven, moving rack with foil and drippings just underneath, and cook for 3 minutes. Flip 1 last time and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer steak to wire rack and rest for 3 to 5 minutes. The above times are for medium doneness. Adjust cooking times up or down as desired.

Amazing! My steak was closer to two inches so I had it in the center rack for 6 minutes on each side and then 3 minutes per side on the top rack. I took it out to check the temperature and decided to stick it back in on the middle rack for 2 more minutes. I used my Breville Convection oven and the broiler pan that came with it. Since it was so thick, one corner was actually touching the top inside of the oven so it got a bit chard. The (large steak had sections that were medium for my boyfriend and medium rare (somewhat bloody and perfect for me! It was so juicy and buttery soft with beautiful seared outsides. I paired it with Chimichuri sauce and some whipped cauliflower with fresh garlic, butter, truffle salt, pepper and parmesan cheese.

I LOVE Alton Brown but I had some issues with this recipe :( I'm a brand new cook and I tried to follow the instructions exactly but I started a HUGE oven fire!!!! I managed to put it out and even save the steak.. which tasted great.. but I had an awful mess in the kitchen. I wish I had read the review that warns about fires. I suggest that all inexperienced cooks like me keep a box of baking soda handy... just incase :
