Garlic Herb Butter Steak Tips are the perfect answer when you crave steakhouse flavor without the fuss of a full roast. Tender sirloin tips are seared to perfection, then tossed in a luscious butter sauce infused with garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Each bite delivers a juicy, savory punch that feels indulgent yet comes together in under 20 minutes.
These flavorful bites have a long-standing place in American kitchens, often served at casual pubs or rustic steakhouse-style restaurants. Traditionally, steak tips were a clever way to use smaller cuts of beef, turning them into a meal that’s just as satisfying as a thick steak — if not more so.
Whether you serve them over mashed potatoes, alongside roasted vegetables, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce, this recipe transforms simple ingredients into an unforgettable dinner. Plus, it’s versatile enough for busy weeknights yet elegant enough for special occasions.

Recipe Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ lb sirloin steak tips, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Season the steak:
Pat steak tips dry with paper towels. Season evenly with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the steak tips:
Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steak tips in a single layer and sear 2–3 minutes per side, until browned but still medium-rare inside. Work in batches if needed.
3. Make the garlic herb butter:
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet, letting it melt. Stir in garlic, rosemary, and thyme, cooking 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Combine and glaze:
Return all steak tips to the skillet. Add Worcestershire sauce, tossing to coat in the garlic herb butter for 1–2 minutes until heated through.
5. Serve hot:
Transfer to a platter and spoon extra butter sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Choose the Right Cut: Sirloin offers great flavor and tenderness, but ribeye tips give a richer, buttery bite.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Searing in batches ensures a golden crust instead of steaming the meat.
- Rest Before Serving: Let steak tips rest for 3–4 minutes after cooking to lock in juices.
