Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, crushed, or more to taste
• 1 pound beef top sirloin, trimmed of excess fat
• 0.25 cup lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Mix crushed garlic and salt together in a bowl until it makes a paste.

Step 3

Rub garlic paste all over meat. Place in a bowl; cover with lemon juice. Marinate 30 minutes to 4 hours. Remove meat from lemon juice. Baste with olive oil.

Step 4

Cook meat on the preheated grill, turning frequently until outer edges are charred, but center is still raw, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; slice off charred edges, cutting against grain.

Step 5

Return raw meat to the grill. Cook until meat is firm and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
