Grilled Steak Tips with Garlic, Ginger and Soy Marinade

I made these last spring and our guests really liked them. This is a Cooks Illustrated recipe. I like that you only need to marinade for an hour.

2 lbs flap meat sirloin steak tips, trimmed of excess fat

Combine the meat and following marinade in a gallon-sized zipper lock bag; press out as much air as possible and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 1 hour, flipping the bag after 30 minutes to ensure that the meat marinates evenly.

Garlic, Ginger and Soy Marinade, as follows:

1/3 cup soy sauce

3 tbls vegetable oil

3 tbls toasted sesame oil

2 tbls dark brown sugar

3 medium garlic cloves, minced or pressed through garlic press

1 tbls minced fresh ginger

2 tsp grated zest from 1 orange

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1 medium scallion, sliced thin

After marinating for hour, remove the steak tips from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Grill uncovered over a hot fire, until well seared and dark brown on the first side, about 4 minutes. Using tongs, flip the steak tips and grill until the second side is well seared and the thickest part of the meat is slightly less done than desired, 4 to 5 minutes for medium rare, 6 to 8  minutes for medium.

Transfer to cutting board. Tent the tips loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice very thin on the bias.
