Top sirloin is a deliciously easy cut of steak - if you know how to cook it properly. Cooking steak too fast or too slow can result in tough, chewy, or flabby meat - but properly cooked thin cut sirloin should be buttery, tender, and have a nice caramelization that is easy to chew and melts in your mouth.
For the best sirloin skillet, it's important to keep these tips on how to cook thin sliced sirloin in mind:
Use very thin sliced top sirloin. Top sirloin cooks best in this recipe when it has been sliced very thin - the meat cooks faster and connective fibers are shorter, making them less likely to get tough when cooked quickly.
Use a large, heavy pan. Your pan is a major part of this recipe - use a large, heavy pan like a cast iron skillet, a wok, or large frying pan that gets hot and heats evenly. Your pan should not be too small because you don't want to overcrowd it and make the steak boil instead of pan-fry.
Stir only enough to prevent burning. Stirring sirloin too often prevents it from searing and getting a lovely browned outside - which is critical for meat that isn't soft and flabby. Let your steak brown before stirring to get the best flavor.
Top Sirloin is the perfect steak to make cheesesteak with, the best steak to pan-fry, and for stir frys.
For the best pan fried or stir fried top sirloin though, it is important to be sliced thin so it can cook hot and fast, making the meat tender and easy to chew.
Slicing meat very thin can be quite difficult at home if you cant find thin sliced meat in the store - but with these easy tips you'll know how to thin slice a steak in no time!
Place meat in a freezer bag or wrap in cling wrap and remove any air bubbles.
Place on metal baking tray.
Freeze for 1.5-2 hours - so it is frozen outside but not rock-solid.
Remove meat from freezer and try to cut into the side - if knife meets a little pressure but cuts through, it is ready to be sliced. If it is tough to slice and not firm, it needs to be frozen longer. If there is too much resistance, it might be too frozen - let it thaw for a few minutes.
Using a sharp knife, slice against the grain using a gentle sawing motion. When you look at the beef, you will see the fibers of the meat are going in one direction. You need to cut across in the other direction to ensure the tenderness.
When meat is sliced thin, you're ready to cook!

I made this last night because I had some thinly sliced sirloin I needed to use up. OMG! Best - decision - EVER! It was soooo good! The steak turned out tender with a ton of flavor and the veggies were that perfect crisp (I cant stand it when squash or zucchini get mushy from overcooking). I will certainly be making this dish again!

I really loved this recipe. We omitted the mushrooms since my roommate doesn't like them (crazy right?) One thing I would do next time is cook the veggies first and then add the steak, or cook the steak separately and add to the veggies. The steak got a little dry while the veggies were cooking. I served this with riced cauliflower.
