For the Marinade:

- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Marinate the Tri-Tip:
- In a bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients: olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Place the tri-tip cubes in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Prepare the Skewers:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Thread the marinated tri-tip cubes onto the skewers, alternating with the bell peppers, onion pieces, and cherry tomatoes.
Air Fry the Brochettes:
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the assembled brochette skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through the cooking time. Cook until the tri-tip is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Rest and Serve:
- Once done, remove the brochette tri-tip from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the brochettes hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro if desired.
Optional Serving Suggestion:
- These brochette tri-tip skewers pair wonderfully with a side of rice, quinoa, or a crisp salad. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the skewers for extra flavor.
