Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Top sirloin tips
- 3 tbsp Harissa paste
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the top sirloin tips and cut them into uniform-sized pieces, approximately 1.5 inches wide, for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine harissa paste, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the sirloin tips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed plastic bag. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight to maximize flavor.
Remove the marinated sirloin tips from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
In a large skillet or grill pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Working in batches if necessary, add the sirloin tips to the pan in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cook time according to your preferred doneness.
Transfer the cooked sirloin tips to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables, couscous, or a side salad for a complete meal.
