Ingredients

1 1/2 lbpetite sirloin steakabout 1 inch thick
2 tablespoonsvegetable oil
McCormick Montreal Steak or Smokehouse Maple seasoning

Instructions

Preheat your broiler on high and place an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Pat the 1½ lb petite sirloin steak dry with a paper towel.
Use a pastry brush or your hands to coat both sides of the steak with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
Season both sides of the steak generously with McCormick Montreal Steak or Smokehouse Maple seasoning.
Place the steak in a cast iron skillet (no need to preheat the pan) and put the skillet on the top rack under the broiler.
Broil the steak, flipping once halfway through, until it reaches your desired doneness. For a 1-inch-thick steak as a guide: rare 3–4 minutes per side, medium-rare 4–5 minutes per side, medium 5–6 minutes per side, medium-well 6–7 minutes per side.
Remove the skillet from the oven, tent the steak loosely with foil, and let it rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
