Steak tips, anyone?

I just went to Appleton Farms in Ipswich, and picked up some steak tips. Made from happy, grass loving cows. Mmm. That reminded me that I promised I would put up the marinade recipe I used last time.

Without further ado, the Southwestern Marinade recipe from Cook's Illustrated's "The New Best Recipe" (for 2 lbs of steak tips):

1/3 c soy sauce
1/3 c veggie oil
3 minced/pressed garlic cloves
1 T dark brown sugar
1 T tomato paste
1 T chili powder
2 t ground cumin
1/4 t cayenne pepper

Mix together with whatever quantity adjustments you feel like at the time, and then let it sit for at least an hour (I left it overnight).

Enjoy!
