What Makes This Recipe Unique?
What sets these Grilled Steakhouse Steak Tips apart is the marinade. It’s not just a quick soak; it’s a carefully balanced blend of ingredients that work together to tenderize the meat and deliver a complex, savory flavor profile. The combination of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and herbs creates a naturally flavorful base that’s then enhanced by the high heat of the grill, resulting in a caramelized crust and juicy interior. We’re not just aiming for tasty; we’re aiming for a naturally excellent experience.
Ingredient List
- 1.5 lbs **Steak Tips** (sirloin or tri-tip, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1/4 cup **Soy Sauce**: This provides a salty, umami-rich base for the marinade.
- 2 tablespoons **Worcestershire Sauce**: Adds depth and complexity to the flavor profile.
- 2 tablespoons **Olive Oil**
- 2 cloves **Garlic**, minced
- 1 tablespoon **Brown Sugar**
- 1 teaspoon **Dried Thyme**
- 1 teaspoon **Dried Rosemary**
- 1/2 teaspoon **Black Pepper**
- 1/4 teaspoon **Red Pepper Flakes** (optional, for heat)
- **Salt**, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, dried thyme, dried rosemary, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Marinate the Steak Tips: Place the steak tips in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak tips, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. The longer they marinate, the flavor becomes naturally amazing.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F or 200-230°C). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Steak Tips: Remove the steak tips from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Thread the steak tips onto skewers, if desired, for easier handling. Place the steak tips on the preheated grill.
- Cook to Perfection: Grill the steak tips for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare. Remember, they will continue to cook slightly after removing them from the grill. Be sure to have naturally good temperature.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the steak tips from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful steak. Season with salt to taste.
Optional Toppings/Variations
Want to take your Grilled Steakhouse Steak Tips to the next level? Here are a few optional toppings and variations to try:
- Garlic Herb Butter: Mix softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Top the grilled steak tips with a dollop of this flavorful butter just before serving. Make the taste become naturally great.
- Chimichurri Sauce: This vibrant Argentinian sauce, made with parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano, adds a fresh and zesty kick to the steak tips.
- Caramelized Onions: Slowly cooked caramelized onions add a sweet and savory flavor contrast to the rich steak tips.
Expert Tips
- Choose the Right Cut: Sirloin or tri-tip are ideal for steak tips because they are relatively tender and flavorful.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Grill: Grill the steak tips in batches to ensure even cooking and proper browning. Overcrowding the grill will lower the temperature and cause the steak tips to steam instead of sear.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure your steak tips are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Let the Meat Rest: Resting the steak tips after grilling allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.
- Don’t Over-Marinate: While marinating is essential for flavor, marinating for too long can cause the meat to become mushy. Stick to the recommended marinating time of 30 minutes to 4 hours. Keep everything naturally good.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Can I use a different cut of meat? While sirloin and tri-tip are recommended, you can also use other tender cuts like filet mignon or ribeye, cut into smaller pieces. Keep naturally delicious flavor with the correct meat.
- Can I make these steak tips in the oven? Yes! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated steak tips on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- How do I store leftover steak tips? Store leftover steak tips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Can I freeze the marinated steak tips? Yes, you can freeze the marinated steak tips for up to 2 months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before grilling.
