Great Marinade for Sirloin Tip Steaks
Marinated Sirloin Tips
Marinade:
· 1 1/3 cups soy sauce
· 6 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
· 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
· 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
· 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
· 2 tablespoons orange zest, grated
· 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
· 1 medium scallion, sliced thin
Meat:
· 2 lbs sirloin tip steaks, trimmed of excess fat
Directions:
*Combine
the soy sauce, oil, garlic, ginger, sugar, zest, red pepper, and scallion in a
small bowl.
*Combine
the marinade and meat in gallon-size zipper-lock bag; press out as much air as
possible and seal bag. Refrigerate 1 hour (at minimum), flipping bag after 30
minutes to ensure that meat marinates evenly.
*About
halfway through marinating time, turn burners on grill to high, close lid, and
heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. If using a charcoal grill, raise your
charcoal level as high as it will go, to properly heat your grilling surface.
*Remove
steak tips from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
*Grill,
covered, until well seared and dark brown on first side (about 4 minutes).
Using tongs, flip steak and grill until second side is well seared and thickest
part of meat is slightly less done than desired (4-5 minutes for medium-rare;
6-8 minutes for medium). If exterior of meat is browned but steak is not yet
cooked through, move steak to cooler side of grill and continue to desired
level of doneness.
*Transfer
steaks to cutting board; tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
Slice steak very thinly. Serve immediately.
