To cook marinated steak tips in a frying pan, follow these steps:
Preheat the pan: Place a frying pan or skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Allow it to preheat for a few minutes until it becomes hot.
Add oil: Once the pan is hot, add a small amount of cooking oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola oil. Swirl the oil around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Remove excess marinade: Take the marinated steak tips out of the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. It's important to remove excess liquid to prevent the meat from steaming instead of browning.
Cook the steak tips: Carefully place the steak tips in the hot pan, making sure they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as it can lead to steaming instead of searing. Cook the steak tips for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness. You can use tongs to flip the steak tips halfway through the cooking process.
Rest the steak: Once the steak tips are cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove them from the pan and transfer them to a plate. Allow the steak tips to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender and flavorful result.
Serve and enjoy: Serve the cooked steak tips as desired. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Remember to adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your steak tips and your preferred level of doneness. It's always a good idea to use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness: around 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
