Equipment
- saucepan
- grill pan

- saute pan
Ingredients
For the Marinade:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup Coca-Cola
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup A-1 sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
For the steak:
- 2 lbs sirloin streak
- 1 large onion cut into thick strips vertically
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- We’re going to start by preparing the marinade. Firstly, we need to take a reasonably sized saucepan and place all of the items listed under the marinade section of the ingredient list into the pan.
- Bring all of these ingredients up to a boil, being sure to give them a bit of a stir to ensure they are adequately mixed together.
- As soon as you can see it boiling, take the heat down and let it continue to simmer for 5 more minutes, then remove it from the heat completely.
- Next, we need to cut the steak into roughly 2-3 inch squares. Be sure to also remove any large pieces of fat and gristle from the meat so it’s predominantly just the steak itself (a little fat is ok though).
- Next, take a zip lock bag and put all the beef in, then pour in all of the marinade sauce (make sure it’s cooled off beforehand). Swill everything around inside the bag to ensure all the steak pieces have been thoroughly coated in the marinade.We now need to leave this for 8-24 hours. The simplest way to do this is to prep it at roughly the same time you want to cook it the following day, then by the time you get around to it, it will have been about 24 hours.
- Once you are ready to cook the steak, take a medium saute pan and put it over low heat. Throw in the butter and olive oil and wait for it to come up to temperature.
- To this, we add the onions, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook for 30-40 minutes being sure to stir and agitate everything occasionally. The onions need to be caramelized but not completely cooked down.Grilling the steak doesn’t take too long, so you can move on to the next step about 10 minutes before these onions are finished.
- Start by draining all the marinade from the beef. Then get a ribbed grill pan and heat it over high heat (you can also use an outdoor grill for this if you have one).
- Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or olive oil, and grill the sirloin steak tips. Ensure there is adequate room between each piece so they can cook properly. They should take about 2-3 minutes to cook per side, but keep an eye on them and ensure they don’t get overcooked.Once all sides have been cooked it’s done! Simply pair it together with the caramelized onion mixture and whichever other ingredients you want to serve it with and enjoy!
