My boys were begging for steak one night, and the only thing I had in the fridge was a sirloin. But I wanted to jazz it up into something special for them. So I kicked it up the flavor chart with garlic butter sauce! Beef is fantastic comfort food, especially when paired with potatoes. Even better, steak tips are fast and economical. And you know what else? These guys make a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Recipe Ingredients
How to Make Steak Tips
Prep the Steak – Lightly salt the steak. Then season with Creole seasoning and pepper to taste. Set aside. (Photos 1-2)Cook – Heat oil in a large cast-iron frying pan (mine is a 12-inch) or skillet over high heat. Place the steak tips in the pan in a single layer, and saute for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then turn and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side. (Photos 3-4)Work in Batches – Depending on your pan’s size, you may need to work in batches. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the tips from browning nicely. Repeat with remaining steak tips if needed.The Sauce – Make space in the pan, then add the butter and garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and onions, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat the meat in the sauce. (Photos 5-8)Serve – Sprinkle with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed veggies. Enjoy!
