I had never heard of steak tips before I moved to Boston…not sure if it’s a geographical thing or if we just never had them in our house growing up.  Since living here, I have come to really enjoy them.  In Southie, I highly recommend trying them out at the K & 8th Market.  Or, try out my recipe I came up with:

M’s Southie Steak Tips-

Ingredients:
-1-2 lbs of chuck steak (or any other “tougher” cut of steak that would do well with a marinade”
-1 cup BBQ sauce (I recommend Dinosaur BBQ sauce)
-1/4 cup worchestshire sauce
-1/2 cup olive oil
-1/4 cup white wine vinegar
-5 garlic cloves, chopped
-dried parsley and oregano (or fresh if in season)
-salt and pepper

Cut the steak(s) into 1 inch pieces.  Mix together all other ingredients in a large bowl.  Put steak into marinade and cover.  Keep refrigerated for at least a couple hours.  Once you are ready to cook it, you can grill or broil the steak tips to your desired doneness.  I like to serve the steak tips with rice and a vegetable.
