Description
A juicy, oven baked tri-tip marinade made with soy sauce, Worcestershire, lemon, Italian seasoning, and barahat spice blend. Marinated for maximum flavor and slow baked in an oven bag for a perfectly tender, saucy result every time.
Tools & Equipment
- Oven bag (essential for locking in all that marinade goodness)
- Large mixing bowl
- A good meat thermometer
- Paper towel
- Roasting pan or baking dish
- Paper towels (for patting the meat dry)
Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs (1.5 kg) Tri-tip
1 small onion, chopped
2 tbsp Olive oil
1/2 Lemon, freshly squeezed
1 cup Water
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp Barahat spice blend (or substitute: 1/2 tbsp allspice + pinch of cinnamon and coriander)
1/2 tbsp Red pepper flakes
2 Rosemary sprigs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Barahat is a warm, aromatic Middle Eastern spice blend — typically a mix of black pepper, allspice, cinnamon, coriander, and cloves. It adds a subtle depth that's hard to replicate exactly, but if you can't find it, a good substitute is 1/2 tbsp of allspice + a small pinch of cinnamon and coriander. Or simply use your favorite all-purpose spice blend — the marinade is forgiving and will still be delicious.
Instructions
1. Mix all ingredients except the tri-tip in a bowl until fully combined.
2. Pat the tri-tip dry with a paper towel on all sides.
3. Add a little all-purpose flour to the oven bag and shake to coat. Place the meat inside, pour in the marinade, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
4. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F) for 10 minutes. Place the oven bag in a roasting pan and bake for 1 hour.
5. Remove the meat and sauce from the bag. Return the tri-tip to the oven uncovered for another 20 minutes or until it reaches your preferred doneness.
6. Slice against the grain, plate, and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve with a roasted vegetable medley.
Notes
Overnight marinating gives the best, deepest flavor.
Always slice tri-tip against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Don’t skip the flour in the oven bag — it prevents bursting and creates a silkier sauce.
