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, black pepper, and kosher salt — builds a deeply savory crust that locks in all the juices while the steak gets that gorgeous char on a screaming-hot grill. Garlic-infused oil does double duty, coating the meat before it hits the grates and finishing the steaks with a fragrant drizzle after they rest. Many pre-made steak seasonings and spice blends sneak in unexpected ingredients, so mixing your own rub from scratch gives you complete control over every element on the plate. The five-minute rest after grilling is non-negotiable — it's what keeps every slice juicy rather than letting all that flavor run off onto the cutting board. A squeeze of fresh lemon and a scatter of flat-leaf parsley at the end brighten the whole dish and cut through the richness in the best possible way. Simple, bold, and completely satisfying.

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.
