Description

Elevate your tri-tip roast with this flavorful and versatile marinade that infuses the meat with a perfect blend of savory, tangy, and sweet notes. Ideal for grilling or roasting, this marinade ensures a tender and juicy result every time.


Ingredients

Scale

Marinade:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Additional:

  • 2–3 lb tri-tip roast

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic, Dijon mustard, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika until well combined.
  2. Place the tri-tip roast in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, turning occasionally to marinate evenly.
  3. Remove the tri-tip from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Grill or roast as desired to your preferred doneness, then let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Notes

  • This marinade is suitable for grilling, roasting, or sous vide cooking methods.
  • For enhanced tenderness, marinate the meat for up to 24 hours.
  • Pair the marinated tri-tip with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or grilled corn for a delightful meal.
