Steak tips generally take about 4 to 6 minutes per side to grill, depending on the desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, grill about 4 minutes per side (internal temperature 130-135°F); for medium, about 5 minutes per side (135-145°F); and for medium-well, about 6 minutes per side (145-155°F). Use a meat thermometer for best results and let the steak rest a few minutes after grilling to retain juices.
Grilling Time by Doneness
- Medium-rare: ~4 minutes per side, 130-135°F
- Medium: ~5 minutes per side, 135-145°F
- Medium-well: ~6 minutes per side, 145-155°F
Tips for Grilling Steak Tips
- Marinate the steak tips for at least 30 minutes to several hours for flavor and tenderness.
- Preheat the grill to high heat (~500°F) before placing steak on it.
- Oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill with the lid closed to maintain consistent heat.
- Flip the steak once or several times for even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature.
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after grilling, loosely covered with foil.
- Slice against the grain for more tender bites.
These practices help achieve juicy, tender, and flavorful grilled steak tips.
