Garlic-Herb Marinated Petite Sirloin with Grilled Asparagus & Tomato Cucumber Salad
Petite sirloin soaks up a punchy garlic-herb marinade, grills up tender and smoky, and gets piled next to roasted spring vegetables and a quick tomato-cucumber salad. It’s hearty without being heavy, and the marinade makes the steak taste like much more than a weeknight dinner.

Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Thinly slice half of the red onion; reserve half for the salad and half for grilling if desired. Mince 3 garlic cloves. Zest and juice 1 lemon.
- Make the marinade: whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper. Coat the 1 pound petite sirloin with the marinade and let sit 20 minutes.
- Toss 1 pound asparagus with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. In a bowl, combine the halved grape tomatoes, diced cucumber, the reserved sliced red onion for salad, remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt, pepper, and the remaining parsley.
- Grill the marinated petite sirloin for about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium, depending on thickness. Grill the asparagus alongside for 4 to 6 minutes, turning once. If using some onion on the grill, cook until lightly charred.
- Rest the steak 5 to 10 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve with the grilled asparagus and tomato-cucumber salad, spooning any collected steak juices over the top.
