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.
