Blackened Sirloin

Ingredients

• 1 top sirloin steak
• 2 tbsp black peppercorns, cracked
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
• Olive oil

Steps

1. Brush steak with oil. Season on both sides with seasoning, peppercorns, and salt. Let sit until room temperature, about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat grill to 2 settings: very high, and medium high.
3. Add steak to hottest part and cook 3 minutes per side, rotating 90 degrees halfway through each side to mark.
4. Move steak to medium high heat and cook, turning often, until internal temperature is 5°F (3°C) less than the desired "doneness".
5. Remove to a plate and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Let rest 10 minutes.
6. Before serving, slice thinly across the grain on a 45 degree angle. Serve warm with Bearnaise sauce.
