  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  1. Prepare the Beef Sirloin (5 minutes):
  • Pat the beef sirloin steak dry with paper towels. This will help the seasoning adhere better.
  1. Season the Beef (2 minutes):
  • Rub the steak with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, then coat evenly with the herb seasoning mix.

  1. Bake the Beef (10-15 minutes):
  • Bake the beef for about 10-15 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the desired internal temperature (145°F/63°C for medium-rare, 160°F/71°C for medium).
  1. Rest the Meat (5 minutes):
  • Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  1. Slice the Beef (2 minutes):
  • Slice the beef sirloin against the grain into thin slices for tenderness.
  1. Add Lemon Juice (1 minute):
    • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the sliced beef for added flavor.

    • Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the beef slices for a touch of color and freshness.
  3. Serve (5 minutes):
    • Arrange the herb-crusted beef sirloin on a serving platter. Serve with steamed vegetables or a side salad.
  4. Pair with Sides (optional):
    • Prepare a side of roasted or steamed vegetables or a fresh salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers.
  5. Refrigerate Leftovers (as needed):
    • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  6. Reheat Properly (as needed):
    • Reheat leftovers gently using a low heat setting on the stove or microwave to avoid overcooking.
