Description
Beef Sirloin Tip Steak is a lean, flavorful, and budget-friendly steak that becomes juicy and tender when marinated and quickly pan-seared. A simple balsamic, garlic, and rosemary marinade adds depth while a hot skillet creates a delicious golden-brown crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lb beef sirloin tip steaks
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or other high-smoke-point cooking oil
- 1 tbsp butter, optional
- 2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed, optional for basting
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, optional
Instructions
- Pat the sirloin tip steaks dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the steaks in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Coat well.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2–4 hours.
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking. Discard the marinade and pat the steaks dry.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil.
- Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, optional crushed garlic, and thyme. Baste the steaks with the melted butter for 1–2 minutes, cooking until the desired doneness is reached.
- For medium-rare, remove the steaks at about 130°F (54°C), allowing for carryover cooking during resting.
- Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for 5–10 minutes.
- Slice thinly against the grain and serve with your favorite vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice, or salad.
Notes
- Sirloin tip steak is leaner and less tender than ribeye or tenderloin, so avoid overcooking it.
- Marinating for 2–4 hours helps add flavor and improve tenderness.
- Always slice against the grain for a more tender bite.
- A meat thermometer is recommended for accurate doneness.
- The steak can also be grilled at medium-high heat for about 4–5 minutes per side.
- For oven roasting, sear first, then roast at 400°F (204°C) for about 5–7 minutes, depending on thickness.
- Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, rice pilaf, or a fresh salad.
- Nutrition values are estimates and may vary depending on the steak size, marinade, and cooking oil used.
