Stove-to-oven method is widely considered the best way to cook top sirloin steak, as it creates a flavorful crust via searing while finishing the meat gently in the oven to ensure tenderness and even doneness.
Prepare: Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30–60 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature, then pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear.
Preheat oven to 375-425°F.
Sear: Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat with oil, searing the steak for 3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Finish: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F–425°F and cook for 5–10 minutes (depending on thickness) until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
Rest: top with pad of butter. Let the steak rest on a cutting board for 5–10 minutes before slicing against the grain to redistribute juices.
