I like to use an iron skillet and that's my first choice but if you don't have an iron skillet, use anything BUT the Teflon/non-stick kind. If you've used the iron skillet before and it's been seasoned like it's supposed to be, it will already have a coating of oil on it, but I like to take a paper towel and wipe the inside bottom of the skillet with some more oil, usually vegetable, not olive oil. Just lightly coat the pan. Then, I season my steak with a little salt, small amount of granulated garlic and some pepper, I also smear a little butter across the meat, on the side that goes in first. I use the amount and type of spices to allow the meat flavor to come through. In other words, the meat isn't smothered in too many different spices, but season t ito your taste. Then get your iron skillet very hot. You can test it by dropping a single drop of water on the skillet and if it boils away really fast, the skillet is ready. You will not be adding any additional oil. Just take your steak and place it in the hot skillet and the heat will sear the meat and seal in the juices. You can peak under that steak but leave it long enough to brown. The time depends on the thickness of the meat. Once the meat is browned and you will learn from experience how long this takes, flip it over and do the other side. If you've cooked one side too much, don't cook the other side as long. Also, if it's a steak that has a rim of fat around the edges, such as ribeye steaks, score (cut) through the fat about every 3 or 4 inches to prevent the steak from curling up as the fat shrinks and cooks down.

Recipe ask for top Sirloin steak I have sirloin steak. Is there a difference?

the is basicly no difference between the 2 in new zealand, where i live, as we have a very high quality of beef and lamb products. but in other countries like America it my be different. The top sirloin steak would just be of a higher quality, so you could use sirloin steak, but there may be a slight difference in the "texture" of the meat. you may need to cook for less time or use more marinade if you are using marinade, ect, to regain some of the juicyness back to the meat.
