Marinated Tri-Tip (Oven or Air Fryer)

I don't think you can ever go wrong with tritip as a steak choice. It is usually less expensive and just as tasty as fancy cuts. 

I marinated this for 4 hours and I felt like it was a good amount of time. Really gave it a lot of flavor. 

Not too surprising, I grilled it instead of oven or air frying it. I mean, I've never EVER baked a steak in the oven, so why start now. 

I'm going to keep this marinade handy. It's pretty typical, but for some reason this one hit the yummy button.

Marinated Tri-Tip (Oven or Air Fryer)

Recipe from Just A Taste

Serves 4

• 1/3 c low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 T Worcestershire sauce
• 1 T Dijon mustard
• 1/4 c extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 T honey
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 (2- to 3-pound) tri-tip, fat trimmed

In a large sealable plastic bag, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, garlic powder and pepper.

Add the tri-tip to the bag, squeeze out any air, then seal the bag shut. Move the tri-tip around in the bag so it’s well-coated then refrigerate it for a minimum of 1 hour and up to overnight.

When ready to cook, remove the tri-tip from the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

TO COOK TRI-TIP IN THE OVEN:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place a cast-iron or oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the tri-tip (discarding the marinade) and cook, undisturbed, until it naturally releases from the skillet, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the tri-tip once then transfer the skillet into the oven.

Cook the tri-tip in the oven for about 8 minutes per pound until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the tri-tip from the oven when it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium and 150°F for medium-well. (The tri-tip internal temperature will rise about 10°F while it rests.)

Transfer the tri-tip onto a cutting board, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

TO COOK TRI-TIP IN AN AIR FRYER:

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

Place the tri-tip in the basket (discarding the marinade) and cook it for 8 minutes per pound until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the tri-tip from the air fryer when it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium and 150°F for medium-well. (The tri-tip internal temperature will rise about 10°F while it rests.)

Transfer the tri-tip onto a cutting board, tent it with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
