  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.

Notes
