Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how this recipe delivers big steakhouse flavor in under an hour, including the marinade. The sirloin tips soak up the savory blend of garlic, soy sauce, balsamic, and herbs, making every bite rich and delicious. It’s great on its own, served over mashed potatoes, rice, or tucked into wraps or salads. I can marinate it ahead and cook it in minutes, which makes it perfect for busy weeknights.

Sirloin steak tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
Olive oil
Garlic cloves, minced
Soy sauce
Worcestershire sauce
Balsamic vinegar
Dried rosemary
Onion powder
Black pepper
Salt
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

I start by mixing the olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, onion powder, pepper, and salt in a bowl or resealable bag.
I add the steak tips, toss them well in the marinade, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes—or up to 8 hours if I’m prepping ahead.
When I’m ready to cook, I heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot.
I add the steak tips in batches to avoid crowding and sear them for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to my desired doneness.
I remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before sprinkling with fresh parsley and serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 4 servings and takes 48 minutes total—10 minutes to prep, 30 minutes to marinate, and 8 minutes to cook. Each serving is approximately 320 kcal.

Variations

I sometimes swap rosemary for thyme or Italian seasoning depending on what I have. When I want a smoky flavor, I add a dash of smoked paprika. For a spicy kick, I mix in a bit of crushed red pepper. If I’m grilling instead of pan-searing, I skewer the steak tips and cook them over high heat for a few minutes per side.

Storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I warm the steak tips in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave in short bursts to avoid overcooking. They also work great cold in wraps or sliced over salads for a quick lunch.

FAQs

Can I use another cut of beef?

Yes, I sometimes use flank steak or ribeye if that’s what I have on hand. I just cut it into bite-sized pieces and marinate as directed.

Can I cook these in the oven or air fryer?

For a hands-off method, I roast them at 425°F for about 10–12 minutes or air fry them at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping once.

How do I know when the steak is done?

I cook until the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F for medium-rare or up to 145°F for medium. I always let it rest before serving.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

To make it gluten-free, I use tamari instead of regular soy sauce and double-check all other ingredients.

What’s the best way to serve this dish?

I usually serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or over a simple rice bowl. It’s also great in a steak salad or sandwich.

These Easy Sirloin Steak Tips are a fast, flavorful way to enjoy tender, juicy beef any night of the week. With a quick marinade and simple sear, they pack in serious flavor with minimal effort. Whether I’m feeding the family or meal prepping for myself, this dish is always a winner in my kitchen.
