Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, pepper, salt, ginger powder, onion powder, and garlic until well combined.
Add the tri-tip steak and turn it until fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat the grill to 375–400°F and reserve the marinade before placing the steak on the grill.
Grill the steak for 10–15 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes until your desired internal temperature is reached.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes.
While the steak is resting, whisk the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of cold water and then mix it into the reserved marinade. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes until thickened, or microwave for 3–4 minutes, stirring every minute, until reduced into a glaze.
Slice the steak against the grain and serve it with the glaze and optional garnishes.

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate the steak for the full 24 hours.
Make sure to check the steak’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
Feel free to customize garnishes based on your preference.
