Why You Will Love These

  • Flavorful: The delicious Spanish marinade for these steak tips is so full of flavor.
  • Economical: These grilled steak tips are so economical because we are working with an affordable cut of steak. That is always a win in my book 🙂
  • Juicy and Tender: These steak tips have just the right amount of char on the outside and are juicy and tender on the inside.
  • Quick cooking: Steak tips are quick to cook because they are smaller, making them a great grilling meal.

Nothing is better than juicy, delicious steak tips grilled up on the grill to get me excited for dinner. How can you not love grilled juicy sirloin tips that are full of flavor thanks to a delicious marinade.

These steak tips are really easy to make and the marinade for them is just as simple. This is one of my go-to meals in the summer.

I love cooking these steak tips up on the grill and serving them with some of my favorite grill sides like grilled potatoes and grilled zucchini and squash.

Ingredients

Steak Tips

  • 1 ½ pounds Steak tips
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • ⅛ tsp Pepper

Spanish Marinade

  • Parsley 
  • Garlic cloves
  • Red chili pepper flakes
  • Cumin
  • Sweet paprika
  • Tomato paste
  • Lemon
  • Olive oil 
  • Apple cider vinegar 
  • Kosher salt and pepper

Tip: The marinade can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to one week.

How to Make These Grilled Steak Tips

I added a very little bit of the Spanish marinade to the meat before grilling.
  1. Make the Spanish marinade: Just mix the ingredients for the marinade together in a bowl which takes only about 5 minutes to make.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Grill: Grill the steak tips for about 2 minutes per side.
  5. 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.
