What Makes This Recipe Work
The secret to these juicy and tender steak tips lies in the delicious marinade. We’ve created a quick and easy blend of soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil. These ingredients come together to create a BBQ-inspired flavor that perfectly complements the natural meaty taste of the steak tips.
Ingredients
Before we dive into the recipe itself, let’s talk about the star of the show: the steak tips. You can find them labeled as “sirloin steak tips” or “sirloin tips” at your local grocery store. They’re a flavorful cut of meat that won’t break the bank.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the marinade ingredients. The best part is that you probably already have these pantry staples at home:
- Low sodium soy sauce
- Brown sugar
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Ketchup
- Garlic powder
- Apple cider vinegar
Recipe Tips
To achieve that perfect medium-rare doneness and mouthwatering flavor, follow these simple tips:
- Grilling time may vary based on your grill’s heat and the thickness of the steak tips. Aim for around 8 minutes of total grilling time for medium-rare. Grass-fed beef may require slightly less time.
- If you prefer a lower sodium option, reduce the soy sauce to ⅓ cup and increase the olive oil by 1 tablespoon in the marinade.
- Allow the steak tips to marinate for at least one hour. If time allows, marinating for three to four hours will enhance the flavors even more.
- While marinating, keep the steak tips in the refrigerator. However, remember to take them out and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling. This ensures more even cooking.
- This recipe is written for a gas grill, but it can easily be adapted for a charcoal grill. Just keep in mind that the cooking time may need to be adjusted slightly.
What to Serve With Steak Tips
When it comes to serving, the possibilities are endless. We love enjoying these grilled steak tips with an arugula salad or a side of rice pilaf. Mashed potatoes are always a crowd-pleaser, too.

Wine Pairing
To elevate your dining experience, pair these steak tips with a bold and robust red wine. Our top recommendation is the 2018 L’Ecole No. 41 Walla Walla Valley Syrah. This exquisite Syrah features bright cherry fruit and hints of white pepper, perfectly complementing the flavors of the steak tips. Its 15% ABV ensures a rich and indulgent experience.
If Syrah is not your preferred choice, a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Zinfandel would also work splendidly. You can even explore unique options like a Tannat from Uruguay for a delightful twist.
