These Sauteed Sirloin Tips With Bell Peppers And Onion is a mouthwatering skillet dish chocked-full with flavor. Tender marinated chunks of sirloin steak are seasoned then cooked to perfection with a charred bark on the exterior yet tender and juicy. All tossed with a generous amount of sweet onion and colorful bell peppers, they’re ready to eat in around 15 minutes.
Quick Fix Meals
Sirloin tips often get overlooked when it comes to quick-fix meals but, it truly is a fabulous choice. Once the steak bites have been marinated you can have this dish ready to serve in around 20 minutes. I like to serve it with a baked potato or mashed potatoes and a salad for a tasty and quick weeknight meal.At times, I’ll turn this skillet sirloin tip saute into a Tex-Mex creation seasoning the sirloin tips with fajita seasoning and a squeeze of lime juice. Wrap in warm tortillas and top with your favorite fajita toppers. To go full-out Asian, use an Asian seasoning in place of the steak seasoning and serve over rice or on toasted sub rolls. It’s a quick-fix meal to fill hungry tummies and there’s never a scrap leftover.

This was good. Do not add additional salt as the soy sauce is salty. I added 1/4 cup of red wine to the marinade as well, I think it added to the flavor

Tina says
I can’t wait to make it. My husband is seafood allergic any ideas for subbing soy sauce?
Melissa says
Worcestershire sauce has anchovies so, that’s not an option. You could replace it with a steak sauce that he can tolerate just read the label carefully.
dave says
Maggi sauce

Nicole Thompson says
It’s a keeper! I hate making steaks because they never turn out tasty or like the restaurants. My son never says, Mom this steak is good. Therefore, I rarely make steak. However, I am on a tight budget and bought this cheap cut of steak.
This recipe was perfect! The marinade was both sweet, tangy, fresh (not salty). I did add only half of 1/4 soy sauce. The other one half of the 1/4 cup, I also chose to use red wine vinegar to tenderize the steak since we hate chewy steak, plus sirloin is a cheap piece of steak it needs tenderizing to me. I did use the cilantro which gave it that fresh taste like u suggested. It was amazing!
The best part, son said this steak is good (he said it twice). Anytime he says that, it’s a keeper. Thanks!
Melissa says
So happy you enjoyed this one, Nicole. And, being a bargain shopper myself kudos for turning a budget friendly cut of meat into a feast for your family!
Audri says
Marinating now! Sooo hungry. And super suprisingly I already have those ingredients! All of em!
Melissa says
I love it when I have ingredients on hand for supper. Enjoy!
Heather says
Is there a way to make this with a softer cut of meat or in the crockpot? I find the sirloin is really tough on my stomach.
Melissa says
That would be a different recipe altogether. Feel free to browse my slow cooker recipes in the recipe index for alternatives.
Regina Wise says
I love this recipe but the meat is a little tough and I marinated it overnight. How can I fix that so it’s a little softer.
Melissa says
Maybe cook it for a bit shorter time period and it may be more to your liking. Also, make sure it’s a quality cut to begin with and your results will be good every time. My guess is, it may need to be cooked for less time.
Jordan says
Seconded on the quality cut! I made this with sirloin steak tips from whole foods…YUM!
Melissa says
Beautiful, great choice!
LL says
I marinated this for 2 days, not just overnight. So I don’t know if that added to my problem…but I realized too late that 3 lbs of meat was MUCH too much for my largest pan. It was totally unable to sauté, ruined the whole thing. Flavor wasn’t good. What in the world pan did you use to fit 3 lbs of meat and still get it crispy on the outside?
Melissa says
It is possible to marinate meat too long. A 12-inch or similar skillet is ideal for most recipes.
Paulette Knight says
Awesome dish Melissa, this is a keeper for hubby and I.
Melissa says
Wonderful!
Cheryl says
I’ve made this recipe 3 times now and we really, really like it, but I did find I need to make a couple of simple changes.
The first two times I made it, I followed the recipe as written….but we thought it needed a few changes.
I want to say I doubled some of the ingredients, but not all of them. So…here are the changes we mad. Also, we preferred the Soy Sauce. So, that being said, here’s what I changed the third time I made it…
I did NOT double the amount of Sirloin Steak. I left that alone. but, I DID double the Soy Sauce, the Olive Oil, the Parsley, and the steak seasoning.
I used 3 bell peppers instead of 2.
We found the crushed red peppers flakes to be too much, so I reduced those to 1/4 teaspoon. We also found the amount of brown sugar, made it sweeter than we prefer, so I reduced that to 2 tablespoons. And I never tried cilantro as neither of us like it.
The garlic remained the same.
The way the original was written was good, but we felt it was too hot and too sweet. So, that’s why I doubled some ingredients, and not others and we really, really like this version much better. Just a small bite from the red pepper flakes and not so sweet, but just enough to make it taste awesome.
And from there, I followed the rest of the directions.
And I served it over Basmati Rice. Perfect paring.
Lee says
This came out amazing! Everything came out so juicy and tender and so flavorful. Each bite was enjoyable savored until there were nothing lefts on our plates. Pairs great with steamed rice. The marinade really made the steak explode with flavor. Bravo!
Melissa says
Hi Lee, I’m delighted you enjoyed these sirloin tips. I really appreciate your sweet note, thank you!
Natalie says
This is a fanstastic recipe! We had a sirloin in the freezer we needed to use up, and this recipe was just perfect. We used low-sodium teriyaki and Sweet Heat steak seasoning by Williams Sonoma. Oh my goodness, with the caramelized onions and peppers it was so tasty. This was super easy to make, and we’ll definitely do it again. I served it with baked sweet potatoes on the side.
Melissa says
I’m so happy you loved these as much as we do, thank you!
Susan Kirton says
Hi Melissa!! I have a beef sirloin tip roast and would like to know if you think your recipe would work for this cut of beef. Thank you!
Melissa says
Hi Susan, while both have sirloin in the name they’re cut from different parts and aren’t necessarily interchangeable. Something labeled a roast will need much longer to cook than these sirloin tips.
Tee says
I substituted the brown sugar with 3 packets of a sugar replacement sweetener. My family love it!
Evanz says
I like this recipe. It looks so amazing. Will give it a try this weekend.
