One of my favorite recipes is Rosemary Balsamic Steak Tips. This recipe is perfect for a budget friendly meal and can be served with rice, potatoes or a vegetable side. If you haven't tried steak tips before, this is the recipe for you!
Steak tips are marinated in a balsamic vinegar blend, then cooked with fresh rosemary for a beef dinner bursting with flavor. It's a great summer grilling dish, but can be made anytime of year by using the broiler setting on the oven or even by cooking on the stovetop.

what are steak tips
Steak tips are a cut of beef, usually sirloin tips though it can be from various muscles in the sirloin. If you can't find steak tips at your local grocery store, you can buy flap meat in steak form and cut into cubes.
Steak tips are popular in New England but I've had a harder time finding them since moving to California and I often have to buy flap meat whole or ask a butcher for the cut specifically.
what is the best way to cook steak tips
Grilling is my favorite way to cook steak tips, however being in a small apartment I don't have access to a grill. However a grill pan or a broiler can get similar results. I usually cook the steak tips in a grill pan or a cast iron on the stovetop. To get a crispy and slightly charred exterior, I finish the steak tips under the broiler for the last few minutes of cooking.

Traditionally steak tips are a cheap cut of meat, usually the odds and ends of the sirloin. Steak tips are not a tender cut, but can become tender with marinating the meat before cooking.
