Patriot Steak Tips Recipes

Steps:

• Pat steak tips dry with paper towels and season with salt & pepper. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add steak tips and cook until well browned all over and meat registers 125 degrees (for medium-rare), 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plate and tent loosely with foil.
• Add 1 TBL butter to now-empty skillet and melt over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 2 mintues. Add wine and sugar and simmer until nearly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add broth and any accumulated steak juice from plate and simmer until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 3 minutes.
• Off heat, whisk in remaining 3 TBL butter and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Return steak tips to skillet and toss with sauce.

Steps:

• Trim most of the fat from the tips and beat them with a mallet to tenderize them.
• Cut the steak tips into one and a half or two inch cubes.
• Combine dressings and barbecue sauce into a large food storage bag with steak and shake vigorously.
• Marinate the tips in the refrigerator over night.
• Take tips out of the bag and throw all of them on a large grill and simply grill to your liking!

Steps:

• In a bowl large enough to hold the meat, combine the cola, BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, teriyaki sauce, olive oil, and salt and pepper.
• Add the meat, cover, and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• Grill to desired doneness.

Steps:

• Cut outer fat from steak and cut into desired sized tips.
• In a bowl, mix all of the remaining ingredients.
• Place tips in a very large ziplock plastic bag. Pour marinade over tips and distribute evenly, moving around the tips so they are completely covered with marinade. Close bag tightly removing as much air from bag as possible. Place bag in a bowl (this prevents any leaking marinade to get all over your refrigerator).
• Place bowl in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight.
• Remove tips from marinade; reserve remaining marinade.
• Grill tips on a coal or gas grill to desired doness. If cooking indoors, refer to Note # 1 below.
• While your tips are cooking; add remaining marinade into a small saucepan and cook until it comes to a full boil. Cook for 2 minutes.
• Serve tips hot and serve with sauce. These are great served with a baked potato or rice. .
• NOTE 1: On winter days, I've cooked this indoors on a cast iron pan with grill grades. Once they are browned evenly, cover with a lid (this helps cook through and not burn). I find that the marinade burns easily using the cast iron method. Therefore, add a few drops of water to the pan which keeps the marinade saucy, being careful not to add too much water so that you wont' be steaming instead of grilling.
• NOTE 2: If using tabasco (I've never used it here), please do not use 1 tablespoon as this will be too hot and will transform flavor due to sharp bite of tabasco. I normally use a Portuguese "pimenta moida" (found in Portuguese markets or in well stocked supermarkets) and recipe can be found on this site "Recipe #482885". Pimenta moida can also be purchased inexpensively online within this website: www.amaralsmarket.com/products-page/marinades-imported-from-portugal/gonslaves-hot-chopped-peppers-16-oz/.
• Substituting Frank's hot sauce or equivalent will do.
