Method

  1. In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, molasses, sesame oil, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.

  2. Add steak tips to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until evenly coated.

  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours to allow the steak tips to marinate.

  4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  5. Remove the steak tips from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Discard the remaining marinade.

  6. Place the steak tips into a baking dish and add enough beef broth to cover the bottom of the dish.

  7. Bake the steak tips in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until they are hot, slightly pink in the center, and beginning to firm. Flip the steak tips halfway through cooking.

  8. To ensure the steak tips are cooked to medium doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center, which should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

  9. Alternatively, if you prefer to grill the steak tips, cook them over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  10. If you prefer, you can use Dijon mustard instead of brown mustard.

About this recipe

Who doesn't love a juicy and flavorful steak? Whether you're a meat lover or just looking to indulge in a mouthwatering meal, cooking steak tips in the oven is a convenient and delicious option. In this article, we'll explore the art of making perfectly cooked steak tips that will leave you craving for more.

Choosing the Right Cut

When it comes to steak tips, choosing the right cut of meat is crucial. You want a cut that is tender and well-marbled, such as sirloin or ribeye. These cuts not only have a rich flavor but also retain their juiciness when cooked in the oven.

Marinating for Extra Flavor

Marinating your steak tips can take their flavor to a whole new level. A simple marinade of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices can work wonders in tenderizing the meat and infusing it with delicious flavors. Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for a more intense flavor.

Preheating the Oven

Before you start cooking, make sure to preheat your oven to the right temperature. This ensures that the steak tips cook evenly and achieve that perfect crust on the outside while staying tender and juicy on the inside. A temperature of 400°F (200°C) works well for most cuts.

Cooking to Perfection

Now that you have your marinated steak tips and a preheated oven, it's time to start cooking. Place the steak tips on a baking sheet lined with foil or a greased oven-safe dish. This will prevent them from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.

Timing is Key

The cooking time for steak tips depends on the thickness of the meat and your desired level of doneness. As a general guideline, cook the steak tips for about 10-15 minutes for medium-rare, 15-20 minutes for medium, and 20-25 minutes for well done. Remember to flip the steak tips halfway through for even cooking.

Checking the Internal Temperature

If you want to be more precise, using a meat thermometer is a foolproof way to ensure your steak tips are cooked to perfection. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C), 145°F (63°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well done.

Letting it Rest

Once your steak tips are done cooking, resist the temptation to dig in right away. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Serving Suggestions

Now that your steak tips are perfectly cooked, it's time to enjoy them. Serve them with your favorite sides such as roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. You can also drizzle them with a flavorful sauce or butter for an extra touch of indulgence.
