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.
