Scale
Marinade Ingredients
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- ⅓ cup liquid aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together all ingredients until well combined.
- Place tri tip in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the meat.
- Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Remove the meat from the marinade and grill, broil, or sear to your desired doneness.
- Let the tri tip rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For a bolder kick, add more sriracha or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
- This marinade works well for other cuts too—try it with flank steak or chicken thighs.
- Use a food-safe plastic bag or non-metallic container for marinating.
- Leftover marinade (not used on raw meat) can be simmered and used as a sauce.
- To enhance the flavor further, score the tri tip lightly before marinating.
