- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Prepare the Beef Sirloin (5 minutes):

- Rub the steak with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, then coat evenly with the herb seasoning mix.

- Rest the Meat (5 minutes):
- Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

- Garnish with Parsley (1 minute):
