Ingredients You’ll Need:

• ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• ¼ cup bourbon (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 2 ½ lbs tri-tip steak (or your choice of cut)
• 1 ½ tablespoons butter (for glaze)

How to Make Cajun Butter Steak

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, mustard, bourbon (if using), Cajun seasoning, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
   • Reserve ⅓ cup of this marinade for later use.

2. Marinate the Steak:

   • Add the tri-tip steak to the bowl, ensuring it’s well coated with the marinade.
   • Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 20 minutes, or overnight for best results.
   • While the steak is marinating, preheat your grill or grill pan.

3. Grill the Steak:

   • Grill the steak for about 10 minutes on one side.
   • Flip and grill for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature at the thickest part reads 130°F.

4. Make the Glaze:

   • While the steak is cooking, take the reserved marinade and bring it to a boil in a small pot.
   • Reduce the heat and simmer until it thickens slightly, then whisk in the butter until fully melted.

5. Serve:

   • After grilling, let the steak rest for 7-10 minutes before slicing.
   • Brush the sliced steak with the butter glaze for an extra burst of flavor. Serve warm.
