Spicy Molasses-Glazed Steak Tips

I found this in a cookbook and made it for dinner this last week. My husband really liked it and I did too. It worked up really quick. I served it with a salad, vegetable and garlic bread.

1/3 cup molasses
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 Tbsp vegetable oil

1. Whisk molasses, vinegar, pepper flakes and 1/4 tsp salt in medium bowl. Pat steak tips dry with papper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook meat until browned all over, 6 to 10 minutes; transfer to platter and tent with foil.

2. Add molasses mixture and any accumulated meat juices to empty skillet and simmer, scraping up any browned bits, until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over steak. Serve.

Steak tips are sold as whole steaks, cubes, and strips. For this recipe use a whole steak or strips and cut the chunks yourself.
