How long to grill steak tips?

Steak tips cook quickly. The exact cooking time will depend on thickness and heat of your grill, but in our experience they cook to medium rare in 8 minutes or less.

Steak tips are a cut of beef that come from various muscles around the sirloin and round. They are sometimes referred to as sirloin tips.

How to prepare steak tips?

Steak tips benefit from a marinade followed by a short cooking time on high heat, as we do in this easy grilled steak tips recipe.

What do steak tips look like?

Steak tips can come in various shapes. I have most often seen a cube shape served at restaurants, but we have bought them in a strip shape. They also come in a steak form.

Instructions

Make the marinade: combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, cider vinegar, ketchup and garlic powder in a bowl.
Marinate steak tips: Pat dry the steak tips, and place in a large sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag, and seal. Gently toss the steak in the marinade, then refrigerate.Marinate the steak tips for at least an hour prior to cooking.
Get ready to grill: Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes prior to grilling time to complete the marinating time and bring the steak closer to room temperature.
Start grilling: Preheat a grill to medium high. Take the steak tips out of the marinade bag, letting the excess marinade drop back into the bag. Place the steak on the grill, and cover.
Grilling time: Grill the steak tips for 4 minutes on one side, then turn and grill 4 minutes on the other side. This should get them to about medium rare, but check for doneness and cook for a couple more minutes if needed.
Remove steak tips to a platter, and cover loosely with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Plate the steak tips and enjoy!

Notes

Lower sodium version: When remaking the steak tips recently, we reduced the soy sauce to 1/3 cup, and increased to 3 tbsp olive oil for the marinade. It was still very tasty!
Marinating time: Consider one hour as a minimum. We have marinated this for 3 to 4 hours, too, and that works nicely.
Cooking time will vary a bit based on the heat of your grill and the thickness of the steak tips. Last time we made it, we used grassfed steak, which cooks a bit faster. If you have grassfed beef or thinner steak tips, you might check for doneness after 6 or 7 minutes cooking time.
