A perfectly seared sirloin is one of those meals that feels like a special occasion even on a Tuesday night. The spice rub here — smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper — builds a deeply savory crust that locks in all the juicy goodness underneath. Garlic-infused oil does the heavy lifting on flavor, coating every inch of the steak before it hits the screaming-hot grill. Many spice blends and marinades sneak in warming roots or exotic seasonings that can be hard to avoid, but this recipe keeps things clean and straightforward with a short, easy-to-verify ingredient list. The technique is just as important as the seasoning — letting the steak cook undisturbed until it releases naturally is what gives you that gorgeous, restaurant-quality crust. A proper five-minute rest before serving means every bite is tender and full of flavor, not lost on the cutting board. A squeeze of lemon and a scatter of fresh parsley at the end brighten the whole plate without complicating a single thing.

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Brush both sides of each steak with 1 tbsp of the garlic-infused oil, then press the spice mixture evenly onto both sides.
Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. The grates should be clean and lightly oiled.
