Ingredients
¼cuplow-sodium soy sauce
¼cuplemon juice
¼cupolive oil
3tablespoonsbrown sugar
1tablespoonWorcestershire sauce
2teaspoonsgarlic powder
1 ½teaspoonsonion powder
1teaspoonblack pepper
1 ½ – 2poundstri tip roast
Instructions
- In a large plastic zipper bag, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
- Add the roast to the bag, squeeze out any air, then seal the bag shut. Move the roast around in the bag to coat, then refrigerate it for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove the steak from the bag, discard the marinade, and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F, then cook the steak for 20-24 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the roast from the air fryer and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it with foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Let the roast marinate for at least a few hours to allow the beef more time to soak up as much marinade as possible!
- Give the roast 30 minutes to come to room temperature before cooking so it doesn’t go into the air fryer completely cold, which can cause uneven cooking.
- Let the roast at least 10 minutes to rest under tin foil. This allows the meat to cool, which relaxes the fibers so they can reabsorb their juices.
- Slice the tri tip roast against the grain for the best texture. This shortens the meat fibers for maximum tenderness in every bite!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a preheated air fryer at 350 degrees F for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
