One Of My Favorite Low Carb Dinner Recipes

As you know by now if you're a reader of the blog here…I'm a big fan of beef. I think it actually should be included in most recipes. These Marinated Fiesta Steak Tips are on my top ten low carb dinner recipe, not only because of how they taste but they are so easy to make!

When I got invited to this "Meat Retreat" by the New York Beef Council I knew it was the perfect day for me. I got to learn about the entire life cycle of beef and how it eventually ends up on our plates, how to butcher different cuts of meat and also got to eat a little.

And at the end of the day they handed me a giant bag of meat to take home with me to enjoy. I'm telling you, this thing was BIG. All different cuts of meat, steaks, beef tips, filets. It was pretty impressive, and since then we've made killer recipes, some low carb, some not but all supremely tasty.

Now here I am getting into the thick of it. Learning how to trim the fat off a cut of beef and how to properly portion each piece. I left with way more knowledge than I went in with – that much is certain.

How To Make Marinated Fiesta Steak Tips

The flavor of those seared edges is out of control good.

How Do You Cook These Fiesta Steak Tips?

There are two way that you can cook these steak tips (actually three) and I'll go over all of those with you. My preferred method is in a skillet. Cooking the steak in a hot skillet will give you the best sear on the steak, which is a super important part to the flavor.

You can also cook this recipe in the oven, a high oven, and then get them under the broiler for a minute or two to crisp up.

And lastly, you can grill these steak tips too! If you're steak tips are cut smaller you can use a grill basket, or cut them a little bit larger and just get them right on the grill.

Marinated Fiesta Steak Tips

• Author: Dan
• Prep Time: 8 hours (for marinating)
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 8 hours and 10 minutes
• Yield: 6 servings 1x

These easy Marinated Fiesta Steak Tips are perfect as party appetizers or for dinner any day of the week!

Scale

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tips *see note
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 1 small bunch of cilantro, left whole for easy removal from the marinade
• Oil for cooking the steak (avocado, canola or vegetable oil)

Instructions

1. Add the beef tips to a large resealable bag or a glass dish.
2. Add the ingredients for the marinade to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Pour the marinade over the meat and stir to make sure that all the beef is coated in the marinade.
3. Marinate the beef in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours and up to overnight. The longer you marinade the beef, the more flavor it will have.
4. Remove the beef tips from the marinade and dry well with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Add a thin layer of canola, avocado or vegetable oil to a large skillet. You want the meat in a single layer and not touching, so use the largest skillet that you have, or brown the meat in batches.
6. Sear the beef on each for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms. You'll want the beef to be medium, or medium rare so that it's not tough. Turn the beef tips over and sear on the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Remove to a platter and cover with foil. Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
7. Oven Method:
8. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
9. Place the beef tips on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spay. Add the beef tips in a single layer, spaced apart. Cook for 5 minutes, then turn the beef tips over and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side. (See note)
10. Remove the beef to a serving bowl and pour any juices from the bottom of the baking sheet over the beef tips.
11. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

You can buy beef tips already cut up for you in most stores but if they aren't available buy a steak like a sirloin or a skirt steak and cut it up.

For the oven method, after the steak has cooked, you can place the steak tips under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the edges if desired.

These steak tips will keep warm in a 250 degree oven for about an hour without overcooking too much.
