Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned sirloin steak in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove steak from the pan and set aside on a plate, tented with foil.
