    • Mushrooms and onions – These pair great with tender steak.
    • Baked potatoes – A great steak house side dish.
    • Sweet potatoes – Add color to the meal with a perfectly baked sweet potato.
    • French Fries – You can’t go wrong with a side of fries.
    • Mac and cheese – Cheesy, creamy, delicious mac and cheese is always a hit.

    Sandwiches

    This is the perfect steak to use for delicious sandwiches or wraps like

    • Garlic butter sauce
    • Brown gravy

    How to keep thin steak tender

    A great way to ensure tender steak is by marinating the steak for 1-2 hours prior to cooking. The marinade helps to tenderize the meat. Also, slicing against the grain of the steak helps to get tender meat.

    Plate with cooked steak and green beans.

    Recipe tips

    • I recommend removing the steaks from the refrigerator and letting the steaks come close to room temperature before cooking. This helps with even cooking.
    • Use a meat thermometer to achieve the perfect internal temperature of 140-145 degrees F.
    What if the steak is thicker than 1/4-inch thick?

    If the steak you purchased is thicker than 1/4-inch, use a meat mallet to pound the steaks thinner. You could also use a rolling pin.

    Can you cook sizzle steaks on the grill?

    Yes, they can be cooked on the grill. Again, cook about 1 minute on each side.

    What is the best internal temperature for a sizzle steak?

    The optimal internal temperature is 145 degrees F. You are looking for a medium-rare cook on the steak since it is so thin.

    Why is my sizzle steak tough?

    The steak is probably tough because it was overcooked. 1 minute per side is about perfect.
