Oriental Tri-Tip Steak
Use a Tri-Tip steak or roast for this recipe and adjust the cooking time accordingly. The Asian inspired flavors in this marinade makes this a great steak for any occasion. Serve over rice for a complete meal.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Yield: Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds beef tri-tip
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Preparation:

Trim beef tri-tip of excess fat. Combine other ingredients, except sesame seeds and mix well. Place beef tri-tip in a resealable plastic bag and cover with oriental marinade. Refrigerate for several hours (up to 8). Preheat grill. Remove beef tri-tip from marinade and discard marinade. Grill beef tri-tip over medium heat, turning occasionally for about 25 to 30 minutes depending on thickness of the cut. When done, remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Carve across the grain, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

Christmas Tri-tip, Member johnoverbaugh

Instead of the traditional ham, my wife picked up a bunch of tri-tip for our Christmas dinner. Tired of the usual, I gave the oriental tri-tip recipe a try. It was absolutely delicious! It requires some ingredients not in the traditional US kitchen (like the sesame oil), but it's well worth it. Prep time was minimal - I have fresh garlic in the fridge, which helps, but this is a really easy recipe to make. Marinating for 24+ hours in a ziploc bag is also a good idea - it seems to marinate more evenly. This recipe will wow any barbecue attendees. I can't recommend it enough!
