Blackstone Sirloin Cap Steak Recipe

Our Blackstone Sirloin Cap Steak recipe takes a tender sirloin and then it is simply seasoned with salt and pepper before being cooked in butter on your Blackstone Griddle. Served with marinated and grilled portabella mushrooms, this is one of the best meals to come off of my Blackstone (and one of the easiest too.)

Blackstone Sirloin Cap Steak Recipe

Blackstone steaks are some of my favorite steaks, ever. There’s not much like seared steak, and the Blackstone is the perfect way to cook a proper steak. 

I see all over the various Blackstone Facebook groups I frequent people trying to turn people away from cooking their steaks on the griddle, and I call FOUL.

No one loves a good wood-fired steak more than I do. We’ve got Traeger Ribeye, Smoked Hanger Steaks, Reverse Seared Flank Steak, and Traeger New York Strips

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room in the world for a fantastic steak that doesn’t hit the actual grill. 

If you haven’t had a steak that blew your mind that came off of a cast iron pan or off of a flat top, you’ve never met someone who knew how to cook a steak.

What Is A Sirloin Cap Steak?

A sirloin cap steak is the same sort of steak that is used for Picanha, but it has the fat cap removed. This cut is located over the top sirloin and is slightly triangle-shaped.

You can find it in roast form sometimes, but we mostly find them cut into individual steaks.

This cut is tender, and relatively economical compared to fancier, pricier cuts like the tenderloin or ribeye.

There’s only ONE top sirloin cap per cow, so this cut can be a little more difficult to find than some others. We typically get ours from Costco, where it is most readily available in our area.

How To Make A Sirloin Cap Steak On The Griddle

This is just the overview so you can see what you’re actually getting into here. When you are cooking, you’ll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.

  1. Preheat The Griddle – Get your Blackstone hot, around medium heat, so it’s ready to sear.
  2. Season The Steak – Coat both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear The Steak – Place it on the griddle and let it sit untouched until a crust forms.
  4. Add Butter & Flip – Drop some butter near or on the steak; flip and baste as it finishes cooking.
  5. Rest & Slice – Let the steak sit a few minutes off the heat before slicing to keep it juicy.

Recipe Tips

  • Don’t run it too hot! Gas griddles get blazing hot, but for steak, you don’t want it on full-blast
  • Butter is your BFF. Don’t be shy. 
  • Don’t move it too often! You won’t develop the crust that takes a steak from just aaaaaaright to ahhhhhmazing.
  • A good meat thermometer isn’t optional. Get one. Use it. Love it. It is the best way to ensure everyone’s steak is perfectly cooked.

Serve This With…

SO MANY THINGS. 

This time, we made them with marinated mushrooms that were cooked alongside them on the Blackstone. I’ve NEVER had mushrooms this good before, so I encourage you to give them a try. I’ll have a post dedicated to them soon, but in the meantime, I’m sticking the recipe for them below, after the steak recipe. 

Other than the mushrooms, I think my Homemade Caesar Pasta Salad would be perfect next to this steak. Some Grilled Zucchini is also an easy choice. 

If you are looking for something a little more hearty, go with my Creamy Noodles, Simple Pellet Grill Potatoes, or Homestyle Mac and Cheese

“Great recipe. Tastes really good, and easy to make. You can’t go wrong!!”

Blackstone Top Sirloin Cap Steak

Blackstone Sirloin Cap Steak with Marinated Mushrooms

Our Blackstone Top Sirloin Cap Steak is tender, delicious, and SO easy to cook! Break out the butter and a little S&P and fire up that griddle!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • Top Sirloin Cap Steak
  • salt
  • pepper
  • butter

Instructions

Direct Sear Method

  1. Preheat your Blackstone to medium heat. Season your steak with salt and pepper, and place on the grill.
  2. Leave it alone for several minutes! You want time for that crust to develop. But dollop some butter near it during the cook.
  3. Turn the steak and let it cook on the other side until a crust develops there too.
  4. More butter, more turning, more sizzle, until the steak is at your desired temperature. Use a meat thermometer for the best results until you get a good feel for things! You want to hit about 125° when you pull it for a medium-rare steak when it is sliced.

Reverse Sear Method

  1. Season your meat and place it on a smoker at 180°-200°. Let the steak reverse sear for about an hour, or until the internal temperature reaches about 120°.
  2. Remove from the pellet grill or smoker, and place onto a preheated flat top griddle at medium-high to high heat. Let sear for 2-3 minutes per side to develop a crust.
