Recipe Notes for Sirloin Steak Bites
- If cooking these on the grill, use a cast-iron skillet or heavy duty aluminum foil to keep the bites from falling between the grates and to allow the meat and juices to cook together.
- A cast iron skillet is recommended for stove top use, as well.
- Spice up the dish by adding red pepper flakes, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, cajun seasoning or freshly ground black pepper to the marinade.
- An extra splash of Worcestershire sauce adds so much flavor! Soy sauce is a great marinade addition, as well as olive oil, fresh parsley, garlic powder and lemon juice.
- Whether cooking on a grill or on the stove top, make sure the temp is set to medium-high heat so you can give the meat a good sear. Adding meat to a hot skillet will help to trap in those delicious meaty flavors.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.

There are a handful of ways to tenderize steak tips. You can pound the meat before cutting into cubes with a meat mallet. Marinating is also a great option. Probably the most effective option with the least amount of effort is salting the steak prior to cutting and cooking.
