This is iT! Family favorite... In my family we eat this at least once a week. Makes a nice Sunday dinner. I prepare the marinade on Saturday and let it sit until we're ready to BBQ on Sunday. Easy....Delicious and the most tender flavor you'll never expect Prep time does not include time to marinade. The longer .... the better If you like a melt in your mouth Tri-tip this is how I make it.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

    I've tried tri-tip roasts before on the barbeque, and have never had good luck making a tender roast. The taste might have been good, but they were difficult to chew. We usually buy a hind quarter of beef annually for our freezer, so here I was: faced with yet another tri-tip. Let me tell you, friends, this is the way to go! We thought the taste was delicious, but the fact that it turned out to be tender was the best part!! This will definitely be the recipe we use for the tri-tips in our annual beef purchase! Thanks for your expertise!

    I had this as part of a 4th of July bbq menu. The marinated tri tip was perfect off the grill. The meat was juicy and the flavors of the marinade didn't overpower the meat but added rich smoky flavors. Also, grilling the marinade created a bit of a crust that was excellent. The simplicity of the ingredients makes the recipe a keeper. Update: Over the weekend, I wanted to serve a casual dinner for my family that wouldn't be too difficult. I instantly thought of Chef V's marinated tri tip cooked on the grill. It turned out delicious--again--and got rave reviews from my mom who knows that I am truly just a fry cook. Don't be intimidated by amount of salt, it acts to tenderize the meat and cure it so that the meat comes out super flavorful. Excellent for making an impression on guests!
