Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Tri-tip steak
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil (for grilling)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the tri-tip steak and set it aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, finely minced garlic cloves, grated ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix until the sugar has dissolved.
Place the tri-tip steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight.
Before grilling, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with the cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the tri-tip steak for about 5–7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Slice the tri-tip against the grain into thin slices. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
Serve the Pulehu Tri Tip Steak immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
