Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine diced onion, brown sugar, and Burgundy wine in a bowl.
- Marinate the beef tips in the mixture for at least 1 hour.
- Thread the marinated beef tips onto small skewers.
- Grill the skewers until the beef tips are cooked to your desired doneness.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a splash of soy sauce to the marinade. If you don't have Burgundy wine, a dry red wine or even beef broth can work as substitutes. Make sure to marinate the beef tips for at least an hour, but overnight will yield even better results. For a unique twist, try using the marinated beef tips in a Beef Stew Bake for a comforting meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled beef tips on skewers as an appetizer or main dish. They pair beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. For a heartier option, consider serving them alongside a baked potato or incorporating them into a beef stir-fry. These tips also make a great filling for tacos or sandwiches, adding versatility to your meal planning.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover marinated beef tips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, do so gently in a skillet over medium heat to prevent the beef from becoming tough. You can also microwave them in short intervals, stirring in between, to ensure even heating without drying them out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute beef tips with cuts such as sirloin or flank steak. Just ensure that they are cut into small, uniform pieces for even marinating and cooking. Tender cuts will provide the best results, but tougher cuts can be tenderized with longer marinating times.
How long should I marinate the beef tips?
Marinating the beef tips for at least 1 hour is recommended, but for optimal flavor and tenderness, marinate them overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeper into the meat, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
Can I grill these beef tips indoors?
Yes, you can use a stovetop grill pan or broiler if you don't have outdoor grilling options. Preheat the grill pan and cook the beef tips over medium-high heat, turning occasionally until they reach your desired doneness. Ensure proper ventilation if using the broiler to avoid smoke buildup.
