Grilled Tri Tip Marinade
The best way to marinate a tri tip? In lots of black pepper, garlic, and red wine! This easy tri tip marinade creates a flavorful, juicy steak every time!
Ingredients
- 2 cups red wine, recommended: burgundy or pinot noir
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce, or liquid aminos for gluten free
- 1 tablespoon black pepper, coarse ground
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 pound tri tip, trimmed
Instructions
- Add the red wine, minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, black pepper, paprika, mustard powder and honey to a large ziplock bag. Zip shut and shake to combine well.
- Add the tri tip to the marinade and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for 6-8 hours, or overnight, but no longer than 24 hours.
- Heat one side of a grill over high heat and do not turn the heat on the other side of the grill.
- Remove the tri tip from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the tri tip on the heated side of the grill. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Move the tri tip to the other side of the grill not over direct heat.
- Grill for 10-15 minutes per side or until the steak reaches your desired temperature on an instant read thermometer. I recommend 135°F for medium rare.
- Remove the tri tip from the grill, place on a cutting board, and loosely cover with foil. Let the meat rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
- To slice, separate the tri tip into two pieces where the grains intersect, then slice each piece against the grain.
Notes
- Store leftover cooked tri tip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, you can sear it in a hot pan on the stove, or wrap it in foil and reheat it in the oven at 400°F for 10-15 minutes.
