Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef sirloin tips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients: slice the beef sirloin tips into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic, and slice the onions and bell peppers.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the beef tips and sear them until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the garlic, sliced red onion, red and green bell peppers until they are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and continue to cook for another 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Return the beef tips to the skillet and add the kalamata olives, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and let it cook on low heat for about 30 minutes or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Once done, remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
