I know I have said this before, maybe a few times but this Korean BBQ Steak Tips recipe is my new favorite! You will need to marinate the meat otherwise this recipe is super easy and packed full of salty, sweet and spicy flavors. I served mine over stir-fry vegetables but steamed rice or cauliflower rice would be delicious as well.
Just look at the shine on those steak tips!! Seriously simple to make and you can choose your favorite vegetables. I was going for color so I chose orange bell pepper, snap peas and broccoli florets.
How to make Korean BBQ Steak Tips:
Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 8 minutes stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Reserve 0.5 cup of marinade.
Pour the remaining marinade into a large zipper top bag over the beef steak tips.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place the bag of steak tips on the counter and allow to come up to room temperature. Drain the steak tips and discard the marinade.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the vegetables and toss while cooking until crisp tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from skillet and set aside until ready to serve.
Heat the same cast iron skillet and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the steak tips and sear on both sides, about a minute per side.
Place the skillet in the oven for 2 to 5 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reaches 125 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
Serve with stir-fry vegetables, Steamed Rice, Fried Rice or Cauliflower Rice and reserved sauce.
Chopsticks optional!
What beef is best for Korean BBQ?
Sirloin, ribeye or tenderloin will give you the most tender and flavorful steak tips.
