If you're craving something rich and satisfying — without heating up the whole kitchen — these steak tips are your answer.

This recipe came from one of those “steakhouse cravings meets busy schedule” nights. I had some sirloin on hand, threw together a quick balsamic-garlic marinade, and pan-seared it all in under 20 minutes.

Now it’s one of our summer staples — especially when we want something that feels like a fancy dinner, but takes barely any effort. Serve it with grilled veggies, roasted potatoes, or even a simple salad and you're good to go.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs sirloin or steak tips, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tsp fresh or dried rosemary (or thyme)

• Salt & black pepper to taste

• Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Marinate the steak tips:
   In a bowl or zip-top bag, mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, mustard, herbs, salt, and pepper. Add steak tips and toss to coat. Marinate for 15–30 minutes (or overnight if you have time).

2. Cook the steak tips:
   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak tips and sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.

3. Serve:
   Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot.

Sarah’s Tips

• Want more sauce? Double the marinade and simmer half in a saucepan for a drizzle.

• Perfect with roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, or grilled asparagus.

• Make it ahead: Marinate the night before for max flavor and quick cooking the next day.
