Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, combine chopped scallions and orange zest. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Rub the top sirloin steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked chili powder.
  4. Place the steak on the grill or skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  5. During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the scallion and orange mixture evenly over the top of the steak, pressing it gently to adhere.
  6. While the steak is resting, prepare the smoked chili-honey butter. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, honey, and an additional pinch of smoked chili powder. Mix until well combined.
  7. Slice the rested steak against the grain. Serve topped with a dollop of smoked chili-honey butter.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the steak marinate with olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of smoked chili powder based on your spice preference.
