I’ve always believed that the secret to a great steak lies in simplicity—no fancy techniques, just good seasoning, high heat, and knowing when to pull the steak off the grill. When it comes to sirloin steak tips, I like to keep things straightforward. A quick sear on each side, a few minutes to rest, and they turn out perfectly tender every time. I’m not a professional chef or health expert, but this is how I like my steak, and I’m excited to share my tips and tricks with you. Whether it’s a quick weeknight meal or a weekend treat, these steak tips are always a hit.
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs sirloin steak tips, cut into bite-sized pieces about an inch

Directions
-
Preheat the Blackstone Grill: Set your Blackstone to medium-high heat and let it preheat for about 5-10 minutes.
-
Season the Steak Tips: While the grill is heating, pat the steak tips dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss to coat. Then, generously sprinkle Nature’s All Seasoning and Kinder’s Seasoning all over the steak tips. Rub it in to ensure even coverage.
-
Cook on the Blackstone: Once the grill is hot, add a little more olive oil to the surface to prevent sticking. Place the steak tips on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your preferred doneness is reached.
-
Rest and Serve: Remove the steak tips from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meat tender and flavorful.
Pro Tip:
- You can grill some veggies (like onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms) alongside the steak pieces for a quick and easy side dish!
Enjoy your tender, bite-sized steak pieces for a quick meal or even as part of steak tacos or skewers!
Marinating Tips:
- Wine Marinade:
- Red Wine: A good option for steak tips, as it tenderizes the meat and adds depth of flavor. Combine red wine with olive oil, garlic, and herbs like rosemary or thyme. Marinate the steak tips for 1-2 hours in the fridge. Don’t over-marinate as the acidity can break down the meat too much.
- White Wine: If you prefer a lighter flavor, white wine works well, especially when paired with lemon, olive oil, and fresh herbs.
- Other Marinades:
- Soy Sauce and Worcestershire: These add a rich umami flavor to the meat. Combine with garlic, olive oil, and a bit of honey for a sweet-savory balance.
- Balsamic Vinegar: A simple balsamic vinegar marinade with olive oil and cracked black pepper adds tang and sweetness.
- Beer: Beer can also tenderize the meat and impart a slightly malty, deep flavor. Combine with mustard, garlic, and brown sugar for an earthy marinade.
Marinating Time:
- Short and Sweet: Since you prefer not to overcook your steak, a short marinade (30 minutes to 2 hours) is perfect. Too long can overpower the steak or make it too tender.
Cooking Tips:
- High Heat on the Blackstone: Since you’re only cooking the steak for about 2 minutes on each side, make sure the grill is preheated to a high temperature to get a good sear.
- Resting for Tenderness: After cooking, the key to tenderness is allowing the steak tips to rest for a few minutes. This lets the juices redistribute, and the internal temperature will continue to rise slightly, ensuring they’re tender without overcooking.
Disclaimer:
It’s important to remember that I’m not a professional health expert—this is just how I like to prepare my steak. If you prefer your meat cooked this way, make sure the internal temperature still meets your safety preferences!
This method combines quick, high-heat cooking with a good marinade and proper resting time to deliver tender, flavorful steak tips.
