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 — smoky paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper — builds a deeply savory crust that locks in every bit of the steak's natural juices. Managing a nickel sensitivity often means scrutinizing ingredient lists and avoiding certain grains, legumes, and high-nickel foods, but a simple beef-forward dinner like this one is naturally well-suited to that need. Sirloin itself is a low-nickel protein, and the short, clean ingredient list here keeps things straightforward without any hidden surprises. Garlic-infused oil does a lot of heavy lifting, delivering bold flavor without requiring raw garlic or any complicated prep. Letting the steak rest before that final drizzle of oil is the small step that makes a big difference — the juices redistribute and every slice stays tender and glossy. A squeeze of lemon at the table brightens the whole plate and makes it feel just a little bit special.

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.
