Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • 1/3 cup liquid aminos or low-sodium soy sauce*
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp worcestershire sauce optional
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha optional

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients for the trip tip marinade to a small blender or food processor. I use my Magic Bullet and a NutriBullet works great as well.
  • Blend the marinade ingredients until they are completely combined and a thick creamy marinade results.
  • Transfer the tri tip and the marinade to a large zip lock bag or an airtight container. Seal bag (or container) and move the contents around until the meat is covered with marinade. Marinate tri tip for at least 15 minutes, ideally several hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Prepare your tri tip using your preferred cooking method (grilling, roasting, smoking, etc.) I have included three different directions for preparing tri tip in the post above so that you can choose your favorite cooking method.

Notes

*You can use coconut aminos too here. If you go with coconut aminos, omit the pure maple syrup, as coconut aminos are already naturally sweet.
  • You can use this great marinade on any cut of meat, including fish, pork, and chicken. This is great on skirt steak, flank steak and bottom sirloin as well.
  • Prepare this delicious marinade up to 2 weeks in advance and store it in an airtight container or airtight jar in the refrigerator. I like using a mason jar for storing the marinade.
Follow my instructions for BBQ Tri Tip for grilled tri tip, Smoked Tri Tip using a smoker, or Oven Roasted Tri Tip.
