Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- If not tender, pound steak with a meat mallet to soften.
- Center the steak on a suitable-sized piece of aluminum foil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add 2 or 3 thin slices of onion and a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce.
- Wrap each steak tightly in the foil.
- Bake for 4 hours until cooked through and tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the sirloin tips in the teriyaki sauce for a few hours or overnight. If you don't have fresh ginger, ground ginger can be a quick substitute, though fresh offers a more vibrant taste. Consider adding sesame seeds for a nutty crunch. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, increase the brown sugar slightly. This recipe also works well with chicken or tofu for a vegan option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the teriyaki sirloin tips over a bed of steamed rice or noodles, making it a great companion to dishes like Oriental Cherry Chicken or Chinese Ramen Salad. Add a side of stir-fried vegetables or a fresh salad to round out the meal. For a different twist, drizzle with Sweet-N-Sour Sauce For Stir-Fry for added zing.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sirloin tips in a covered skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. Alternatively, you can reheat in the microwave on medium power, checking frequently to avoid drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat?
Yes, you can use other cuts like flank steak or ribeye. Just adjust cooking times accordingly, as these may cook faster than sirloin tips. The goal is to achieve tenderness, so monitor closely to avoid overcooking.
Is this recipe suitable for grilling?
Absolutely! You can grill the sirloin tips instead of baking them. Just marinate as instructed, then grill over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. This will give you a nice char and enhance the flavors.
What can I substitute for soy sauce?
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, tamari is an excellent substitute for soy sauce. Coconut aminos can also work as a soy sauce alternative, providing a slightly sweeter flavor. Just keep in mind that these substitutes may alter the overall taste slightly.
