Texas Tri-Tip
Description
Thanks to a flavorful overnight marinade featuring bock beer and lemon juice, this beef tri-tip grills to juicy perfection over coal or mesquite.
Ingredients
•
2 (4 pound) beef tri-tip roasts, trimmed
•
1 cup dark lager (such as Shiner® Bock)
•
1 cup lemon juice
•
1/2 cup olive oil
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
•
1/4 cup ground black pepper
•
1/4 cup garlic salt
•
1/4 cup garlic powder
•
1/4 cup onion powder
•
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
Directions
1
Place tri-tips in one or two gallon-sized zip-top bags or in a large sealed container.
2
Whisk lager, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, garlic salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper together. Pour marinade over the tri-tips. Seal, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate, flipping once halfway, 8 hours to overnight.
3
Lightly oil the grate of an outdoor grill. Arrange coals or mesquite wood on one side of the grill and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4
Remove tri-tips from the marinade and place directly over the wood or coals. Sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move tri-tips to the opposite side of the grill, cover, and grill until desired doneness is reached, about 45 minutes for medium-rare.
5
Transfer to a cutting board, wrap in foil, and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Unwrap and slice across the grain.
