Notes
- Best Steak Cuts: Use good quality steak for best taste. Sirloin or flap meat works well.
- Marination Time: Marinate the steak for at least 2 hours. This helps the flavors soak in.
- Cooking Doneness: Don’t overcook the steak tips. Cook until medium rare or medium.
- Best Pan Choice: Use a grill pan or cast-iron skillet for best sear.
- Resting Time: Let the steak rest a few minutes after cooking.
- Sweetness Boost: You can add a little brown sugar to the marinade for sweetness.
- Garlic Tip: Fresh garlic works better than garlic powder.
- Add Heat: If you like spicy food, add a pinch of chili flakes.
