Chef's Tip

For the most flavorful steak tips, let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling. This ensures even cooking and better caramelization, creating that perfect restaurant-quality char on the outside while maintaining a juicy interior.

Instructions

  1. Make marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper.
  2. Add steak tips to marinade, toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
  3. When ready to cook, remove steak from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat grill or large cast-iron skillet to high heat.
  5. Remove steak tips from marinade, pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with kosher salt.
  6. Grill or sear steak tips for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  7. Remove to a plate, tent with foil, and rest while preparing sauce.
  8. For the sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add mushrooms and cook without stirring for 3 minutes, then stir and cook 2-3 minutes more until golden.
  9. Add shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  10. Add red wine, increase heat to high, and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  11. Add beef broth and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  12. Stir in Dijon mustard and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  13. Serve steak tips with sauce spooned over top.

Plating

Spoon garlic mashed potatoes onto the center of each plate. Arrange steak tips on top and drizzle with red wine mushroom sauce. Place seasonal vegetables alongside. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme if desired.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover steak tips can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of beef broth to maintain moisture. The sauce can be stored separately for up to 4 days and reheated over low heat.
