Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Grill or grill pan
- Tongs
- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds tri-tip steak
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- to taste salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, red wine, minced garlic, honey, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt to create the marinade.
- Place the tri-tip steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the tri-tip from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
- Grill the tri-tip for 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
- Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
Notes
For a deeper flavor, let the tri-tip marinate overnight. Pair this dish with a bold red wine or a refreshing beer for the ultimate BBQ experience.
