Sauteed Sirloin Tips With Bell Peppers And Onion – These sauteed sirloin tips with bell peppers and onion may not come to mind when you’re thinking about quick-fix meals, but in truth, it really is. 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.
Ingredients you’ll need:
3 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup Teriyaki or Soy sauce
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 Tbsp olive oil, plus additional for cooking
2 Tbsp chopped Italian parsley or cilantro
3 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp steak seasoning, divided [i.e. Mesquite/Montreal/Chicago/ Kansas City your preference]
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 large sweet onion, cut into thin wedges
Black pepper to taste
Directions:
Rinse, pat dry and cut the sirloin steaks into 1-inch pieces. Whisk together the teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, chopped parsley, 3 clove minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Place into a plastic storage bag and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
To prepare, remove the sirloin tips from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Heat a few drizzles of olive oil in a large cast iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sirloin tips. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and to your preferred doneness. Season with 1 tsp of steak seasoning. Remove from the pan to a platter to rest.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion wedges to the pan. Season with 1 tsp steak seasoning and black pepper to your taste. Add additional olive oil if needed. Cook for 5 minutes scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook until browned and crisp tender then add the sirloin beef tips back to the pan. Stir until heated through and serve. Yield: 6 servings

I love this recipe. Easy, smells fantastic while making, and tastes amazing. We’re a family of picky eaters but this was definitely a hit at our house today. Thanks for posting!
Ah that makes me happy Katy, so happy your family enjoyed this one!
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
Glad you liked this one, thanks!

I can’t wait to make it. My husband is seafood allergic any ideas for subbing soy sauce?
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.
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I made this with tri-tip instead, it was so so so so so so good!! I marinated for about 6 hours and I also added some chopped jalapeno. My boyfriend loved it too. yum!
Wonderful, thanks for letting me know!
I’m trying this recipe tonite
My chopped steak is marinating as i texted you. I’m sure it’s gonna be great.
Bon appetit!
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!
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!
Marinating now! Sooo hungry. And super suprisingly I already have those ingredients! All of em!
I love it when I have ingredients on hand for supper. Enjoy!
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.
That would be a different recipe altogether. Feel free to browse my slow cooker recipes in the recipe index for alternatives.
