Quick and easy steak tip marinade

First, you’ll want to select a premium grade cut of steak from your local butcher shop.  Don’t opt for the cheap cut as you’ll get what you pay for.  Once you’ve purchased your steak, plan on marinating the beef overnight with the following ingredients:

  • ½ cup of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup of Italian dressing
  • 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

These measurements are based on two pounds of tips and should be adjusted accordingly. Grill low and slow to ensure the most flavorful result!

  • ½ cup of Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup of red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons of dry mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Grilled salmon for the win

  • ¼ cup of EVOO
  • ½ cup of reduced-sodium soy sauce
