Ingredients

• 2 pounds tri-tip steak
• 0.5 cups soy sauce
• 0.25 cups pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, chopped garlic, grated ginger, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and kosher salt to create the marinade. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.

Step 2

Add the tri-tip steak to the marinade, ensuring it is completely submerged and coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Remove the marinated tri-tip steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade and brush it lightly with vegetable oil on both sides.

Step 6

Sear the steak on the grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until a nice crust forms. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F, or adjust cooking time as needed for your desired doneness.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest, tented with aluminum foil, for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the tri-tip against the grain into thin slices. Garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
