Season the top sirloin steak on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the seasoned steak into a large zip-top bag.
In a blender, combine the entire can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce with 1/2 cup of water.
Blend the marinade until smooth.
Pour about half of the marinade over the steak in the bag. Reserve the remaining marinade for another use.
Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and massage the marinade into the steak. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for more flavor.
Heat a skillet over high heat. Cook the steak for 90 seconds on each side for a medium-rare finish.
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for a few minutes.
Slice the steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces and serve.
Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking.
Marinate for at least 30 minutes for best flavor, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. Longer marinating intensifies the chipotle adobo flavor.
Pat the steak dry before pan-searing over medium-high heat. Avoid moving it frequently; let it sit 3–4 minutes per side for a golden crust.
Yes. Flank steak, skirt steak, or ribeye work well; adjust cooking time based on thickness and your preferred doneness.
Yes, chipotle peppers are moderately spicy. Reduce the number of peppers or remove some seeds for a milder heat level.
Marinate the steak up to 4 hours in advance, then pan-sear just before serving for the best crust and texture.
