This steak really steals the show! So simple and tasty and juicy despite the heavy sugar rub! My family’s preferred method for grilling steak. Every time, this steak cooks to a precise medium-rare. a constant victor. Very great method of preparing steak. The juices are sealed in by the sugar crust that forms. There is no taste of sugar!

Ingredients
- 1 (5 pound) 3-inch thick beef top sirloin steak
- 2 cups white sugar
Instructions
- Place steak in a large bowl. Knead sugar into meat to form a thick crust. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature; 3 to 4 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Cook steak on preheated grill until each side is caramelized, about 10 minutes per side.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place steak on prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven until steak is starting to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 20 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Reviews
This was just ok for us. There was a definitive sugar taste, for us. Liberal use of sea salt at service helped offset it, but it was there. It was a nice change of pace, but won’t be a repeater at the LTH house. THANKS, for the recipe!
