Ingredients
Scale
Steak:
- 1.75 pounds tri tip steak
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (sub avocado oil)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Instructions
- Season: Remove the tri tip steak from the packaging and put in a deep baking dish or large storage bag. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Marinate: Put all of the marinade ingredients in a small bowl; mix to fully combine. Pour the Steak Marinade over the seasoned steak. Let marinate, covered in the fridge, for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight, if you have time.
- Prep: Preheat the outdoor grill to a medium-high heat and make sure the grill grates are clean.
- Grill Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Place the steak directly on the hot grill grates to get a nice sear. Cook on the grill for 5-7 minutes per side (timing depends on the thickness) for medium rare finish or until the center of the thickest part of the steak reaches 130 degrees F using an internal meat thermometer – or let cook until desired level of doneness.
- Rest + Serve: Let the steak rest for about 5-10 minutes and then enjoy any way you want – we love making Grilled Steak Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sauce!
Notes
- Marinade: highly recommend our easy and delicious steak marinade, but you can also use a store-bought version, keep it simple with just salt and pepper, or try our Steak Dry Rub!
- Storage: leftover steak can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
