Equipment

  • Air fryer (optional)

Ingredients  

  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (2- to 3-pound) Snake River Farms American Wagyu Black Grade Tri-Tip, fat trimmed

Instructions 

  • 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.
