Ingredients

  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 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, or ¾ tsp dry
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped, or ¼ tsp dry
  • 2 ½ lb Tri-Tip steak
  • 1 ½ tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Combine the soy sauce, olive oil, mustard, brown sugar, bourbon, garlic, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and rosemary in a large bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Reserve ⅓ cup to make the glaze.
  • Place the steak into the bowl and pour the marinade over it. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate from 30 mins to overnight. You can also place it in a zipper bag, and take out as much air as possible so the marinade can better penetrate the meat.
  • Preheat the grill, griddle or grill pan over high heat.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for 10-12 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature of the meat is 130 F on the thickest part.
  • Make the glaze: place the reserved ⅓ cup of 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.
  • Let the meat rest for about 10 mins. Brush with the glaze before slicing and serve the remaining glaze on the side.
