Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds of steak tips (sirloin or flank steak)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine vinegar. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, black pepper, salt, smoked paprika, oregano, and thyme. Whisk again until fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Place the steak tips in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak tips, ensuring they are well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4 to 6 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
- About 30 minutes before grilling, take the steak tips out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For charcoal, ensure coals are hot and ashy; for gas, preheat for 10-15 minutes.
- Oil the grates with a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the steak tips from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
- Place the steak tips on the hot grill, leaving space between each piece.
- Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them for a nice sear.
- Flip the steak tips using tongs and grill for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Add 2-3 minutes per side for more doneness.
- Check for doneness with a meat thermometer: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 150°F (65°C) for medium-well.
- Once done, remove from the grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steak tips against the grain into bite-sized pieces for tenderness.
- Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, salad, or mashed potatoes, and consider a dipping sauce like chimichurri or spicy aioli.
Notes

- Marinating Time: The longer the steak tips marinate, the more flavorful they will be. Aim for at least 4 hours for optimal taste.
