A perfectly seared sirloin is one of those meals that feels indulgent without requiring a long ingredient list or complicated technique. The spice rub here — smoked paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper — creates a deeply savory crust that locks in all the good stuff while the steak rests. Garlic-infused oil does double duty, coating the meat before it hits the grill and finishing it with a glossy, aromatic drizzle right before serving. Avoiding yeast in savory cooking is usually straightforward, but marinades, sauces, and seasoning blends can sneak it in through unexpected sources like malt vinegar or certain flavor enhancers — this recipe sidesteps all of that with clean, whole ingredients. High heat and a hands-off approach on the grill are what give you that restaurant-quality crust without any fuss. A five-minute rest before slicing makes a real difference, letting the juices redistribute so every bite stays tender and flavorful. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a scatter of fresh parsley, and you have a stunning plate that's as simple as it is 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.
