TRI-TIP MARINADE
It's our favorite marinade for tri-tip. The original recipe is from the Food Network site, but I've changed it so much that I claim it as my own :) It's SO tender and flavorful!! Marinate for at least 6 hours or over night. This is enough marinade for a 2-3 lb. tri-tip.

Steps:

- Heat grill to medium temperature.
- Place tri-tips on grill at a 45-degree angle to establish grill marks and cook about 35 minutes, or until cooked to desired doneness. Remove the tri-tips from the grill and let rest about 2 to 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
A REALLY GOOD TRI-TIP MARINADE
Steps:
- In a saucepan, mix together 1/4 cup of the sugar and 1/4 cup of the water and bring to a boil, stirring all the while. When the sugar gets a dark color, add the spices and stir. Bring back to a boil for a minute, and then add the vinegar, the other 1/4 cup of water, the soy sauce, and the fish sauce. Mix well and taste. If you feel like it needs more "balance," add a little more salt. Add the garlic and the 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bring back to a boil, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Let cool. Place the tri-tip roast in a shallow baking dish or a Ziploc bag and pour the cooled marinade over. Place in fridge and let marinade for a hour or overnight. (I did this overnight.) Cooking Method: This can be cooked on the grill or roasted in the oven. If roasting in the oven, do it at 425 degrees F and stick a meat thermometer in. When it reaches an internal temperature of 128 degrees, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality tri-tip roast. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and spices. Be sure to let the roast marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Cook the roast over indirect heat. This will help prevent the meat from drying out. If you are using a charcoal grill, place the roast on the side of the grill opposite the coals. If you are using a gas grill, turn off the burner directly under the roast.
- Cook the roast to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the roast is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
Conclusion:
This tri-tip marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your next grilled roast. The combination of olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and spices creates a marinade that is both flavorful and tenderizing. Whether you are cooking the roast on a charcoal grill, a gas grill, or in the oven, this marinade will help you create a delicious and memorable meal.
