How to Make Barbecue Beef Strips

  1. Cut 1.5 lbs of steak (sirloin, flank, or skirt steak work well) into 1/2-inch thick strips.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add the beef strips to the marinade, stir to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
  4. Remove beef strips from marinade, reserving the marinade. Drain the beef strips slightly.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and brown for 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup tomato sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
  7. Pour the reserved marinade and ketchup mixture over the beef strips in the skillet. Stir to combine.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the beef is cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately on toasted hamburger buns with your favorite toppings or over cooked rice.
