What each ingredient does

Sirloin steak
Provides the meat itself, which browns on the hot surface and is served as the main dish.

The step that matters

Let the steak rest before slicing. Resting lets juices redistribute through the meat, so they stay inside rather than spilling onto the board when you cut it.
