"Origin stories for Massachusetts-style steak tips are varied and abundant, and in some cases purely apocryphal. If you ask 99 Restaurant & Pub, they came about when a pile of steak trimmings was accidentally knocked into a bowl of Italian dressing."
"The charred pieces of steak were so good that the rest, as they say, is history. They've been on the restaurant group's menu for more than fifty years, spreading the gospel of steak tips via almost 99 locations across New England."
"Not to be confused with tri-tip, the dish is typically made with the flap from the lower sirloin of a cow. This specific cut can be hard to find outside of New England, so any skirt or flank steak will do."
"The steak tips at 99 Restaurant & Pub are famous thanks in part to their top-secret marinade recipe. They're not blowing their cover here, but if you know 99, and you know steak tips, you'll agree that this version comes delectably close."
