  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

  • ¼ cup Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free)

  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme

  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

  • 2 ½ lb tri-tip steak

  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, mustard, Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free), Cajun seasoning, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Reserve ⅓ cup of marinade.

  • Place steak in the bowl and marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight.

  • Preheat grill, griddle, or skillet.

  • Grill steak for 10 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 130°F.

  • While grilling, boil the reserved marinade in a small pot. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened. Whisk in butter.

  • Let steak rest for 7–10 minutes. Slice against the grain and brush with glaze before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute other steak cuts like sirloin or ribeye.

  • For dairy-free, use vegan butter in the glaze.

  • Adjust Cajun seasoning for more or less spice.
