Scale

1 cup soy sauce

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 pounds beef tri tip (or more if you want extra leftovers—I respect that)

Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and pineapple juice in a bowl to create your marinade.
Gently massage your tri tip with kindness and marinade. Store in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or 2, if you want to level up the flavor).
Grill over medium heat for 25 minutes per side. Admire the beauty you’re creating. Splash some extra marinade on it as it grills. Show off your flair.
Let the beef rest (you’ve earned it) for 15 minutes. Then slice against the grain like a boss.
Sprinkle green onions on top for a final touch and gather your audience. It’s showtime.

Make Ahead: Marinate the tri tip overnight for maximum flavor.

Serving Ideas: Serve with steamed rice, grilled veggies, or a crisp Asian slaw. Leftovers: Great for sandwiches or stir-fries the next day!
