tips

  • What is the best steak for steak tips?

I like to use 2-3 pounds of whole sirloin steaks and cut them into 1 to 1.5 inch chunks.  I wouldn’t use anything cheaper as your steak tips will be tough. More expensive cuts of steak would be good, like a ribeye or filet…but I’m not sure I would turn that beautiful meat into steak tips.

  • Can these be made in an air fryer?

Yes!  To make these steak tips in an air fryer:  Cut and marinade the steak just as we did above.  Pre-heat your air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes.  Add the steak to the basket and cook for 4-6 minutes depending on how done you like your steak.

Expert tips

  • Don’t over crowd your pan while cooking.  This will result in steamed steak instead of giving you steak with a nice brown crust.  Brown food tastes good!
  • Letting the steak tips marinade for at least 15 minutes not only ads to the flavor, it ads to the tenderness!
  • Make sure you pan is nice and hot before adding the avocado oil.
