Special Notes
This tri tip marinade recipe creates a flavorful, well-balanced marinade that enhances the natural taste of the meat. The combination of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine vinegar provides acidity and umami, while the herbs and spices add depth of flavor. The brown sugar helps caramelize the meat during cooking, creating a beautiful crust. This marinade works well with other cuts of beef and can be used for grilling, roasting, or pan-frying. The longer you marinate the meat, the more flavorful it will be. Always marinate in the refrigerator and discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw meat.
