Instructions

Prepare the Marinade:
In a large, sealable plastic bag or tupperware container, combine olive oil, soy sauce, white wine, minced garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, and additional garlic. Stir or shake the container to mix the ingredients together, creating a smooth marinade. -
Marinate the Steaks:
Add the sirloin steaks into the marinade, making sure the steaks are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the container, and place it in the refrigerator to marinate overnight. Make sure to turn the steaks occasionally for even marination. -
Prepare the Vegetables:
The next day, begin by spraying a small frying pan with cooking spray. Place the pan over medium heat and sauté the sliced onions, bell peppers, garlic, cumin, and oregano for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The vegetables should soften and become slightly caramelized. -
Cook the Steaks:
While the vegetables are sautéing, heat a heavy skillet (or electric skillet) over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the marinated steaks and sear them for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. For medium-rare steaks, aim for 5-7 minutes on each side. -
Assemble the Dish:
Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Place a spoonful of the sautéed vegetables on top of each steak, and serve immediately.
Notes:
- Marination Tip: For even more flavor, you can marinate the steaks for up to 24 hours if desired.
- Vegetable Variations: You can switch up the vegetables according to what you have available. Zucchini or corn would be great additions.
- Serving Suggestion: For a complete meal, pair this dish with a simple green salad dressed with a lemon vinaigrette.
This delicious and quick dish is an excellent way to enjoy a high-protein, flavorful meal without spending too much time in the kitchen. The combination of sirloin steak and vibrant Southwest vegetables offers a perfect balance of protein, vegetables, and aromatic spices. It’s a family-friendly recipe that you can prepare any day of the week!
