If you're referring to grilling, most recipes recommend grilling steaks over a direct-medium fire on a covered grill!. How long depends on the thickness of each steak and doneness you want!.
To make this simple we use the cookout calculator at charcoalbob!.com!. Just enter the details and it will give you instructions for how to grill sirloin steaks just the way you want them done!. It also has grilling tips!.
Regardless of how you're cooking them, allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking, and let them rest for 5 minutes before eating to keep them nice and juicy!.
Hope this helps!.

the reason your steak is shrinking is because of the water content the more you cook food the more water/juices will come out/evaporate this is the same for any meat if you cook two steak of equal size and weight one well done and one medium the well done one will always end up smaller and dryer try get your meat from a good supplier and make sure it has been hung/matured for 28 days i also wouldn't cook any further than medium and let your steak rest after cooking so the fibers in the meat can relax try get the right cut of meat as well such as rib eye sirloin rump or fillet
you can leave your steak out at ambient temperature (room) for up ten minutes as long as the core temperature does not exceed 8 degrees Celsius these are the restaurant food guide lines in the UKWww@FoodAQ@Com

you maybe are cooking it to long or cooking it at the wrong temperature try cooking at a lower temperature or slow the cooking time down oh and don't let it sit to room temperature it can gain bacteria quick bacteria grows at a rate of 12 per sec and doubles to about 3million in a matter of minutesWww@FoodAQ@Com
