Make Sure You Get The Right Steak<\/strong> — When you go to the grocery store or butcher, how can you pick out good steak tips? Look for meat labeled as flap meat, which is another term for a steak cut from the bottom of the sirloin.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlternatively, request that the butcher cut your steak tips from the sirloin bottom he or she has on hand. You can also buy sirloin and chop the meat yourself with the help of a butcher or internet videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll want to examine the looks of the steak to determine whether it’s one you want to purchase. Color, marbling, and fat content should all be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should also examine the package to see if the meat is USDA Prime grade, which means it is of the highest quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Setting Up The Grill<\/strong> — To make sure your steak tips don’t stick to the grill, heat up the grill first. Then, add some olive oil so that there’s less chance of them sticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter preheating, place the steak tips onto the grill. Use a grill plate to prevent the meat from falling through the grill grate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t Forget To Season Your Steak Tip<\/strong> — Dab the steak tips with paper towels to remove any juices that may prevent them from searing properly on the grill. Leave them at room temperature as the grill heats up.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBrush them lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill. Sprinkle each side with salt, black pepper, or your favorite beef seasoning. Add a small amount of minced garlic if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get Marinating If The Feeling Takes You<\/strong> — Steak tips are great for marinating, especially if you use an Italian-style marinade. Make sure to let them sit for at least 2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBetter still, marinate overnight in the fridge. Your steak tips should be tender after grilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try This Simple Marinade Recipe<\/strong>– 1\/2 cup Italian dressing, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tsp steak seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBy marinating your steak you offer the steak the opportunity to capture more flavors and it will be bursting out when it is time to eat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook It Right <\/strong>— You’ll need both direct and indirect heat for excellent steak tips on the grill. Here’s what that implies if you’re new to grilling:<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe steak will be seared over direct heat, whereas indirect heat will ensure it cooks through without being directly over the flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a crisp sear, place steak tips immediately over the hottest part of the grill when you initially put them on. Once both sides have been seared for 30 seconds to a minute, move them from direct to indirect heat to finish cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tips of meat should be cooked perfectly by now. You might want to check if the charcoal briquettes are still burning well before closing the grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t open the lid too often, since the meat needs to stay in contact with the hot coals for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Timing Is So Important<\/strong> — Steak Tips should be cooked for about 2-3 mins per side. Flip them once to cook the opposite side. Set a timer after you’ve turned them over for two minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTurn again for two more minutes. You can always turn them over for a few seconds more if they aren’t browned enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give It Time To Rest <\/strong>— Steak tips should be rested before cooking. Cutting into the steaks while they’re still warm causes the meat to lose moisture and flavor. Steak tips should be cooked medium-rare or medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
