Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the marinade:
- In a large bowl, whisk together ketchup, red wine vinegar, olive oil, water, Coca-Cola, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2. Marinate the steak:
- Add the steak tips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. (For the best flavor, aim for 2-4 hours of marinating time.)
Step 3. Prepare the garlic herb butter:
- While the steak is marinating, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 4. Cook the steak tips:
- Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat and add just enough canola oil to coat the bottom.
- When the oil is shimmering hot, add the steak tips in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Step 5. Sear to perfection:
- Cook the steak tips for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness. For medium, cook 3-4 minutes per side; for well-done, cook 4-5 minutes per side.
Step 6. Add the garlic herb butter:
- Once the steak tips reach your desired doneness, reduce the heat to medium-low, return all the steak to the pan if working in batches, and add the garlic herb butter.
- As the butter melts, spoon it over the steak tips, continuing to cook for another minute as the flavors meld together.
Step 7. Rest and serve:
- Transfer the Steak Tips with Garlic Butter and Herbs to a serving plate, pour any remaining butter sauce over the top, and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with additional fresh minced parsley if desired before serving.
