Harissa-Marinated Top Sirloin Tips

By

Harissa (a spicy chile sauce from North Africa) gives the steak some heat. The meat needs to marinate for at least two hours, so plan accordingly.

Ingredients

  • •1 2-pound top sirloin steak (about 1 1/2 inches thick), fat trimmed
  • •4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus additional for brushing
  • •4 garlic cloves, pressed
  • •2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
  • •2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • •1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • •2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon harissa sauce

Preparation

Step 1

•Cut steak lengthwise in half, forming two 2- to 3-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip into 2- to 3-inch triangles. Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, sugar, soy sauce, thyme, and 2 teaspoons harissa in large bowl; whisk to blend. Add beef; toss to coat evenly. Marinate 30 minutes at room temperature or cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day, tossing occasionally.
•Drain beef. Heat 2 heavy large skillets over high heat. Brush skillets generously with olive oil. Divide beef tips between skillets. Cook until well browned on all sides, turning with tongs, 6 to 7 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer beef tips to platter.
•Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon harissa, and 2 tablespoons water in small bowl to blend well. Season sauce to taste with salt. Drizzle sauce over beef tips and serve.
