Sirloin steak (steak or round), the cut of meat is, literally, from the rump of the cow. If you guessed that this would probably be a tough piece of meat, you'd be right. On the other hand, is very tasty.
The question is how we can cook some of this hard - or at least avoid further hardness by drying out - so that we can enjoy the taste of steak?
A good way to cook steak is to fry or grill. A better way is to marinate the first,then fried or grilled. Here I give you a recipe for each method:
Grilled steak

4 thin-cut steaks
1 / 4 cup butter
