Instructions
1
Begin by trimming most of the fat from the steak tips for a leaner bite.
2
Using a meat mallet, gently pound the steak tips to tenderize the meat — this will help them absorb the marinade better.
3
Cut the steak tips into 1.5 to 2-inch cubes, ensuring they're evenly sized for consistent cooking.
4
In a large resealable food storage bag, combine the creamy Italian dressing, Italian dressing, and barbecue sauce. Mix well until combined.
5
Add the cubed steak tips to the marinade bag, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously to ensure the steak is thoroughly coated.
6
Place the marinated steak tips in the refrigerator and allow them to marinate overnight for the best flavor.
7
When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak tips from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
8
Grill the steak tips for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they reach your desired level of doneness.
9
Serve the grilled steak bites hot and enjoy your delicious tailgating treat!
