Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor, these New England-style Steak Tips are marinated in chili sauce, Coca-Cola, and Italian dressing, then grilled to perfection. Serve them with mashed potatoes, veggies, or rice for an easy, restaurant-quality meal at home!
Slice the sirloin flap meat in half against the grain, and then into 2 inch cubes.
Combine the Italian dressing, Coca-Cola, chili sauce, and canola oil in a large zipper bag. Add the cubes of flap meat and toss until they're fully coated in the marinade.
Place the steak tips in the fridge to marinate for at least 8 hours, or up to 24 hours.
After marinating, remove the steak tips from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature while you heat the grill. Turn a grill on to high heat.
When the grill is hot, use tongs to remove the steak tips from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook them for about 2 minutes per side.
Remove the steak tips from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
If you don’t have a grill, you can sear the steak tips in a cast iron skillet on the stove over high heat for 2 minutes per side. Be sure not to crowd the skillet or the steak tips won't cook evenly, and they won't achieve the delicious char on the outside. You'll probably have to cook them in 3-4 batches on the stove, if you're making the full 2 pounds of steak tips that this recipe calls for.
To make the leftover marinade into a sauce, reduce it in a saucepan on the stove over high heat for 10-15 minutes.
Steak tip leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can reheat them in a hot skillet on the stove for about 1 minute per side, or in an air fryer at 400°F for 3 minutes.
