In my pre-chef days, the word “sirloin” conjured up visions of a nicely charred, glistening slab of meat at a steakhouse. Today, I know it to be one of the most versatile, not to mention inexpensive, cuts of beef you can cook with. All you have to do is peruse the butcher’s case to see the variety of sirloin cuts available—like tri-tip and flap meat (a.k.a sirloin tip)—to imagine the possibilities. Luckily for you, we’ve rounded up 10 sirloin steak recipes to inspire you. There’s gloriously crispy and mouth-watering chicken fried steak, easy Cuban steak and onions, spicy Nigerian beef skewers, Armenian shish kebabs—even cheesesteak nachos and Korean bulgogi burritos. The best part is you don’t have to splurge on an expensive cut for a taste of juicy, tender steak.
