Instructions
Principal

Chef's tips

- Score the meat so it absorbs the seasoning better.
- Cook for about 15 minutes on each side to ensure the desired doneness.
Variations

- Add a little apple cider vinegar to give an additional touch of flavor.
- Replace the sirloin with pork ribs.
Substitutions

How to store

- Keep the beef tenderloin in an airtight container and at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Can it be frozen?

- If freezing is necessary, remove the meat from the marinade and cool it quickly to preserve the flavor.
What to serve with
- A green salad is a great option to accompany.
- Chicken steaks or turkey breast can be a good alternative option.
- A refreshing dessert, like strawberry ice cream, is a good complement.
Frequently asked questions
How can I make the sirloin less chewy?
To reduce the fat, remove the sirloin from the olive oil and season only both sides of the meat with salt and black pepper.
Can I use only lemon juice?
Yes, you can use only the lemon juice, but the flavor concentration will be lower.
How can I cut the top sirloin to make it easier?
Make shallow cuts in the rump steak so the seasonings penetrate better, but do not make deep cuts.
Can I replace olive oil with canola oil?
Yes, canola oil is a good substitute as it has a more neutral flavor.
