Cooking a sirloin steak in the kitchen

An option would be to cut it into strips or pieces, marinate in soy sauce, sake, mirin, garlic and ginger, then stir fry. For me, a sirloin sometimes doesn't make a great steak, but it lends itself nicely to stir frying.

I've had success with cooking them under the broiler. You'll get browning, but you definitely won't get the nice heavy sear that a grill or cast iron will give you. There's little to no smoke, though, because the liquids that create smoke never hit the heat source. Just make sure you put a cookie sheet or something under the meat to catch the drippings, or you're going to have a mess. Also, you really need to either cook directly on the rack or have a secondary rack to put the meat on. You don't want it just sitting in a pan under the broiler stewing in its own drippings.

It's become my go-to for a quick and easy steak when I don't feel like smoking up the house or firing the grill.
