Tri-Tip Marinade Recipe

With this delicious tri-tip marinade you’ll never have to worry about dry, flavorless steak again! It’s the most delicious combination of ingredients that will bring flavor to the meat while making it juicy and tender. Plus, the marinade adds moisture and helps to keep it from becoming dry while cooking.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Olive Oil: This will give the marinade the perfect consistency and add moisture to the meat. Fresh Lime Juice: The citrus will help to tenderize the steak. Soy Sauce: Adds salty, savory flavor. Brown Sugar: Balances the savory ingredients with a hint of sweetness. Worcestershire Sauce: For the best umami flavor. Fresh Garlic: Provides a pungent aromatic flavor. Onion Powder: Brings a subtle onion taste without having to use fresh onions. Italian Seasoning: A combination of outstanding herbs.  Salt & Pepper: Cracked black pepper and kosher salt brings all of the flavors together. Tri-Tip Steak: This marinade is the perfect amount for 2 to 3 pounds of tri-tip steak.

Make the Marinade

To Cook the Steak

Use a Different Citrus: Lemon juice or orange juice work great to replace the lime juice. Soy Sauce Substitutions: Feel free to use low-sodium soy sauce, and for a gluten-free option, use tamari! Italian Seasoning: Add in some extra flavor by using Italian seasoning. You will love this homemade Italian seasoning! Or use store-bought if that’s easier!
