When it comes to food choices, I’m more of the meaty lover kind of person compared to my husband. He is that type who could eat greens and fruits CONSISTENTLY without batting an eye for a huge piece of a juicy steak on the table. Although he sometimes eats it, it’s just that he can tolerate going for a week or even a month (imagine that) without it. That doesn’t happen to me, obviously. I’d go “hangry” if I miss my steak for a week. And this Steak Tips has been go-to quick and easy steak dinner fix. You’ll see why…

What are Steak Tips?

Steak tips are typically beef meat around the sirloin and round. You might have bought it before as flap meat or flank steak and is known for its loose, long grain with a notable extreme beefy flavor at a good price. Since it has loose and long grain texture, it soaks up marinades pretty well. But it’s not as tender, say, as the tenderloin although it’s tender enough to bite with a bit of chew in between. It’s best cooked at least medium-rare.

What Other Cut of Beef Can You Use for Steak Tips?

Aside from sirloin steak, you could also use rib eye, tenderloin or New York strip steak.

How To Make Steak Tips

Lightly salt steak. Season with Creole seasoning and pepper to taste. Set aside. Heat oil in a large cast-iron (I used a 12-inch ) or skillet over high heat. Place the steak in the pan in a single layer; you may have to work in batches depending on the size of your pan. You don’t want to crowd the pan. Crowding the pan prevents the steak from browning nicely.

Cook for about  2-3- minutes, on one side until golden brown, then turn and cook about 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with remaining meat if needed. Make space in the pan, add butter, garlic, saute for about 30 seconds then add,  Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and onions to the pan; cook for 2-3minutes, stirring to coat the meat in the sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes, rice or steamed veggies.

Ingredients

• 1- 1 ½ lbs (453g-680g) top sirloin steak , cut in 1-inch pieces
• Salt to taste 
• 2-3 teaspoon (8g-12g) Creole seasoning
• 1 tablespoon (14ml) olive oil
• 2-3 tablespoons (28ml-42ml) butter
• 2 teaspoons (10g) minced garlic
• ½ tablespoon (8.5g) Worcestershire Sauce (replace with extra soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) soy sauce (adjust to taste with more or less)
• ½ cup (57.5g) sliced onions (optional)

Instructions

1. Lightly salt steak. Season with Creole seasoning and pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. Heat oil in a large cast-iron (I used a 12-inch ) or skillet over high heat.

3. Place the steak in the pan in a single layer; you may have to work in batches depending on the size of your pan. You don’t want to crowd the pan. Crowding the pan prevents the steak from browning nicely.

4. Cook for about  2-3- minutes, on one side until golden brown, then turn and cook about 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with remaining meat if needed.

5. Make space in the pan, add butter, garlic, saute for about 30 seconds then add,  Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and onions to the pan; cook for 2-3minutes, stirring to coat the meat in the sauce.

6. Sprinkle with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes, rice or steamed veggies.

Recipe Notes

1. Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container or frozen up to 2 months. When serving, simply thaw and reheat on the stovetop.
2. Avoid using tougher cuts such as chuck steak which is ideal for slow cooking.
3. Do NOT crowd the pan. Crowding the pan prevents the steak from browning nicely.
4. Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
