Grilling is an easy way to add variety to our meals. My mom and grandma taught me how to cook. I've entered several cooking competitions and have won some awards.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
You Will Need
1 boneless beef top sirloin steak, (2 to 2 1/2 pounds and about 1 1/2 inches thick)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves, coarsley chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/8 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or pinch dried thyme
1 teaspoon olive oil
What to Do
1. With a sharp knife, make five lengthwise cuts three-fourths of the way through the steak. Combine salt, pepper and parsley; rub over steak.
2. In a small bowl, combine the basil, onion, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Stuff into pockets in steak. Using heavy-duty string, tie the steak at 2-inch intervals, closing the pockets. Drizzle with oil.
3. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 35-45 minutes or until the meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°F; medium, 160°F; well-done, 170°F). Cover and let stand for 5-10 minutes. Remove string before slicing.
Serves 6-8
Editor's Note: Steak can also be baked, uncovered, at 400°F for 45 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness.
