A perfectly seared sirloin is one of those meals that feels like a restaurant splurge but comes together right in your own kitchen. The spice rub here — smoked paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper — builds a deeply savory crust that locks in all the juices as the steak grills over high heat. Garlic-infused oil does double duty, helping the seasoning adhere before cooking and adding a finishing drizzle of rich, aromatic flavor once the steaks have rested. Many marinades and steak seasonings sneak in sweeteners, so keeping things simple with a dry rub and quality oil means you stay completely clear of that concern without sacrificing a single bit of flavor. The five-minute rest after grilling is non-negotiable — it's what keeps every slice juicy rather than letting all that goodness run off onto the cutting board. A squeeze of fresh lemon and a scatter of flat-leaf parsley at the end brighten the whole plate and cut through the richness beautifully. This is the kind of weeknight dinner that earns serious compliments with very little effort.

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.
