How to Make These Grilled Steak Tips

- Make the Spanish marinade: Just mix the ingredients for the marinade together in a bowl which takes only about 5 minutes to make.
- Marinade steak tips: Now add the steak tips to the marinade and toss well so all of the steak is coated. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 days. It makes a great make-ahead sauce if you know you will be grilling.
- Skewer: Add the steak tips to metal skewers so they will be easier to flip while cooking. You can use wooden skewers but make sure to soak those for about 1 hour before using so they do burn.
- Grill: Grill the steak tips for about 2 minutes per side.
- Rest: When they're done cooking, remove the steak tips from the grill and drizzle a little extra marinade over the top and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
With this grilled steak tips recipe, you will add a little (1 tbsp) of the marinade before grilling along with some salt and pepper. You do not want to add too much of your marinade before grilling because it will cause too much charring on the meat.
You add more of the Spanish marinade later after the cooking is done.
How Long To Grill Steak Tips
Grilling steak tips is a little different than grilling an entire steak. The steak tips are smaller with more surface area which makes them cook faster.
Here is a good guide to follow:
- Medium rare: For medium rare steak tips, you want to cook them for about 3-4 minutes a side or until they reach an internal temperature of 130-135 degrees.
- Medium: For medium steak tips, you want to cook them for about 5 minutes a side or until they reach an internal temperature of 135-140 degrees.
- Medium Well: For medium-well steak tips, you want to cook them for about 6 minutes a side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145-150 degrees.
These times can vary depending on the size of the steak tips you are grilling. It is best to check the internal temperature for accuracy.
