Grilled Sirloin With Polenta And Sour Cream
- For the steak:
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 1/4 pounds sirloin steak, trimmed of fat and very thinly sliced
- For the polenta:
- 1 tube (18-ounces) prepared polenta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and ground black pepper
- Garlic powder
- For the sour cream:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 shallot, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
- 1. In a blender, combine the oil, vinegar, salt, peppercorns and garlic. Puree until smooth, then pour into a stainless steel or other non-reactive bowl. Add the steak, mixing gently to coat, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, cut the polenta into 8 slices. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat both sides of each slice with oil. Sprinkle both sides of each slice with a bit of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set aside until the steak is ready to grill.
- 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, shallot and chives. Set aside.
- 4. Coat the grill racks with cooking spray or oil. Heat the grill to medium-high.
- 5. Grill the polenta slices for 3 minutes per side, or until bold grill marks appear. Use a spatula to carefully transfer the slices to serving plates.
- 6. Grill the steak for 1 minute per side. Mound 1 or 2 slices on top of each polenta round. Top each with a dollop of sour cream.
