Ingredients: 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger (peeled, finely chopped); 3 cloves garlic; 3 Tbsp. all-fruit plum jam (or preferred jam); 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce; 1 tsp. sesame oil; 1/2 cup water; 1 bunch green onions (sliced); 1 medium serrano chiles (cut in half, seeds removed, chopped); sea salt (or Himalayan salt) and ground black pepper (to taste; optional); 1¾ raw tri-tip roast

Steak night doesn’t have to be unhealthy! This marinated tri-tip steak recipe keeps the flavor high and the calories low. We used tri-tip, but you can use this marinade for any lean cut of steak, or try it on pork loin, chicken breasts, or turkey!

Pay attention to the last preparation step that suggests resting the steak for 10 minutes before slicing. This important step allows the juices to settle back into the meat giving you a perfect, juicy steak.
