So, your meal would have been $134. The manager removes $60 for the steaks and another $15 to make up for the inconvenience. Your $134 bill is now $59. The waiter did his part correctly and addressed your concerns and brought up the issue with the manager.
I can see the argument for tipping on the lower amount since you really didn't get the steaks you wanted. If the steaks were really horrible and inedible, maybe you should tip on the lower amount. If the steaks were miscooked and you actually ate some ( or all) of it, I'd tip on the total amount plus a little more.
The wine and salads were good so the $15 almost took care of the cost of the salads.
Here's the real question. If you got that same meal for $59, would you be happy? If so, I'd tip a little more than usual.
