*Rosemary-seared beef tips served with golden baby potatoes and lemony peas*

This dish feels like the first spring Sunday dinner after a long winter—hearty enough to satisfy, but with bright touches that keep it feeling light. Rosemary infuses the beef with that earthy aroma we love, and the garlic brings depth without overpowering. The peas and lemon offer a perfect contrast—sweet, vibrant, and buttery.

You can serve this as-is, or toss everything together into a big warm grain bowl or salad. It’s perfect for date night, Easter, or a breezy “I’m eating well but not fussy” kind of weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

🍽️ Servings: 4 • 🔥 Calories/Serving: ~500

For the Rosemary Beef Tips:

1½ lbs sirloin or stew beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
1½ tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1½ tsp dried)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tbsp butter (for finishing)

For the Lemon Butter Peas & Potatoes:

1 lb baby potatoes, halved
1½ cups frozen peas
1 tbsp butter
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional: fresh parsley or mint, for garnish

Steps

Step 1

Boil or steam baby potatoes until fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, toss beef tips with rosemary, garlic, olive oil, balsamic, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 10–15 minutes while potatoes cook.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef tips in a single layer (in batches if needed) for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Lower heat, add 1 tbsp butter, and let it melt into the beef. Set aside, loosely covered.

Step 4

In the same skillet or a small saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add peas and cooked potatoes. Stir gently until warmed through.

Step 5

Add lemon zest and juice to the peas and potatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm with beef tips on top or to the side.
