Default Top Sirloin w/ Technique I Learned at Cheftalk

I was a chef for a long time but I had never ever done a steak this way before. Yes, I'd basted before in the pan but never a piece of beef so thick! I don't remember who, was it Greyeaglem who taught me this? Take a thick cut of beef and saute it with mushrooms while basting it. The mushrooms keep the butter from burning.

1) Tie the Sirloin
2) Use lots of butter
3) Cook it while basting

Here it is, served with chanterelles/criminis and chateau potatoes

Hmmmmmmmm.... any leftovers?

Looks yummy. Is that an aluminum pan you're using? Just curious because I've never used one.

How was the meat itself compared to a regular grilled steak?

Can't really say, I've never grilled much Top Sirloin, but this was really good.
