How to Cook Sirloin Steak with a Steak Marinade One of the Best Types of Steak
If you are wanting to learn how to cook sirloin steak, you might also want to know how to cook porterhouse steak or T-bone steak. All three of these come from the same area of the beef, the loin section. Although they are from the same area, there is a difference in them. To me, the porterhouse is the very best. It is very tender and I usually do not marinate or tenderize this steak. The taste is very delicious but my butcher friend says that only four can come from each beef. That makes them more expensive, but worth it. The T-bone is next in tenderness and also very delicious tasting. I generally do marinate T-bones for a short while. Sirloin steak does have a good flavor but I prefer to always marinate this steak.
If you are wanting to learn how to cook porterhouse steak, I simply spray a skillet and brown on both sides to desired doneness. This steak is great also cooked on a grill. The flavor and tenderness is already great. If you prefer additional flavor just sprinkle a little seasoning.

T-bone steaks are cooked much the same way as the porterhouse. These are usually cut a little thinner and quite often I do marinate them, but it is not necessary.
When you learn how to cook sirloin steak, I am sure you will agree that a good marinade adds a lot to the tenderness and flavor.
