For an extra layer of flavor, consider using a smoky barbecue sauce or adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade. To prevent flare-ups on the grill, trim any excess fat from the steaks before marinating. Allowing the steaks to rest after grilling is crucial for retaining their juices and ensuring a tender, flavorful result. Serve with grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes for a complete and elegant meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the finely chopped onion, crushed garlic, barbecue sauce, gin, dry vermouth, olive brine, and dried basil until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepGenerously season each beef sirloin steak with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place each steak in a resealable bag. (3 minutes)
03
StepDivide the prepared martini marinade evenly among the bags, ensuring each steak is thoroughly coated. Seal the bags, removing any excess air. Gently massage the marinade into the steaks. (2 minutes)
04
StepRefrigerate the steaks in the marinade for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, allowing the flavors to fully penetrate. (2 hours - 24 hours)
05
StepWhen ready to grill, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450°F). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
06
StepRemove the steaks from the bags, discarding the marinade. (1 minute)
07
StepGrill the steaks for 7 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. (14-16 minutes)
08
StepRemove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain. (5-10 minutes)
09
StepGarnish each steak with a green olive, skewered on a cocktail toothpick, for a final touch of martini-inspired flair. Serve immediately and enjoy!
