A perfectly seared sirloin is one of those meals that feels like a restaurant splurge but comes together with just a handful of pantry staples. The spice rub here — smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper — builds a deeply savory crust that locks in all the juices while the steak rests. Garlic-infused oil does double duty, coating the meat before it hits the grill and then finishing the steaks with a glossy, aromatic drizzle right before serving. Getting that crust right is all about a screaming-hot grill and the patience to leave the steaks alone until they release naturally — no prying, no peeking. A five-minute rest on the cutting board is non-negotiable; skip it and you'll lose all those beautiful juices to the plate. A squeeze of fresh lemon and a scatter of flat-leaf parsley at the end brighten everything up without competing with the smoky, garlicky depth. This is the kind of straightforward, grain-free dinner that proves you don't need anything fussy on the plate to eat incredibly well.

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.
