Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce (preferably low-sodium)
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp whole-grain mustard
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup bourbon (or whiskey)
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 2 ½ lb Tri-Tip steak
  • 1 ½ tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Make the marinade: mix the first 8 ingredients in a large bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Reserve ⅓ cup.
  • Place the steak into the bowl and swirl it around until fully covered. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate from 30 mins to overnight.
  • Preheat the grill, griddle or grill pan over high heat.
  • Grill the steak for 10-12 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature of the meat is 130 F on the thickest part.
  • Prepare the glaze: place the reserved marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thick. Remove from heat and stir in the butter.
  • Before slicing the meat, let it rest for about 10 mins. Brush with the glaze before serving and serve the glaze on the side.

Notes

  • Do not boil the glaze once you add the butter, or it will separate.
  • If you want the full-flavor experience, marinate the steak overnight!
  • Let the meat rest before cutting it or all the juices will run out.
