Recipe Overview

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Marinating Time: 2-4 hours
• Cooking Time: 10-15 minutes
• Total Time: 25-35 minutes (excluding marinating time)
• Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 2 lbs flank steak or flap meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to create the 99 Restaurant steak tip marinade.
2. Place the steak tips in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the steak tip marinade over them, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Massage the 99 Restaurant steak tip marinade into the meat. Seal or cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse and the steak tips to tenderize.
3. Preheat the outdoor grill to high heat, aiming for a temperature of 400-450°F.
4. Remove the marinated steak tips from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
5. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Drain the marinade from the meat and discard the excess marinade.
6. Place the steak tips on the preheated grill and cook to the desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak tips.
7. While grilling, baste the steak tips with a little olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent them from drying out.
8. Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak tips from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before cutting to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice the rested steak tips against the grain into thin strips.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as desired and serve hot.

Recipe Notes

• Marinating the steak tips for 2-4 hours ensures they absorb the flavors of the apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce in the steak tip marinade and become tender.
• Cooking over high heat gives a 99 Restaurant steak tip a nice sear and enhances the flavor.
• Depending on your preference, you can use other cuts of beef, like sirloin or tenderloin, as the main ingredient of this recipe.
• Basting a 99 Restaurant steak tip with olive oil while grilling adds a nice sheen and helps retain moisture.
• Experiment with the steak tip marinade recipe by adjusting the spice level with red pepper flakes or adding a hint of sweetness with a touch more sugar for a great flavor. You can also add garlic salt, onion, cayenne pepper, paprika, butter, or cumin for a more regional result.
• Any leftovers can be refrigerated for 3 to 4 days and enjoyed cold in a salad or reheated gently for another meal [1]. If you need to store your 99 Restaurant steak tips longer, you should freeze them for up to 2 to 3 months [2].
• You can replace 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce with bourbon in the steak tip marinade for a bourbon-infused flavor.
• You can also use the 99 Restaurant steak tip marinade recipe for chicken or pork.
• If you don't have access to an outdoor grill, you can cook the 99 Restaurant steak recipe on a stovetop grill pan or under the broiler in your oven. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
