Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the round steak into 3/4-inch strips.
- Soak the meat strips in the marinade for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to high heat.
- Cook the steak strips on the grill, turning constantly.
- Dip the meat in the marinade during cooking to keep it moist.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, marinate the steak strips overnight to enhance flavor and tenderness. If you prefer a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the marinade or substitute apple cider vinegar for white vinegar. If you don't have soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos can be good alternatives. Always keep an eye on the grill to prevent overcooking, as steak strips cook quickly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled steak strips with a fresh side like Orange Cranberry Salad for a refreshing contrast. Pair them with grilled vegetables or a hearty grain like quinoa for a balanced meal. These strips also make a great filling for tacos or wraps, topped with your favorite condiments.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover grilled steak strips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. Alternatively, you can microwave them in short bursts, checking frequently to avoid drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like flank or sirloin steak. Just remember that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness and tenderness of the cut. Flank steak, for instance, tends to be leaner and may require less cooking time.
How do I know when the steak strips are done?
Steak strips are typically done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. If you prefer them more well-done, cook to 160°F. The strips should be nicely browned and slightly charred on the outside.
Can I prepare the marinade ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the marinade a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to give it a good stir before using, as the ingredients may settle. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making your steak even tastier.
