I used tri tip and it worked very well. I added some toasted sesame seeds since it goes will with marinated, grilled beef. The marinade has the flavors of orange and is not particularly intense (e.g. the garlic and pepper are not too strong). The honey, orange juice and terriyaki have sugar, which makes the suface nice and carmelized. Depending on taste, you may prefer to "punch it up" with a little extra garlic, crushed red peppper or ginger. It was fine as is, though, with a nice tasty flavor of the meat coming though. Kids like it.
