hey there Laci here for the sweet pea
chef and it's summer grilling time so
that means we can break out the tri-tip
today I'm going to show you how to
marinate tri-tip plus I'm going to show
you three super easy and really tasty
tri-tip marinade recipes so let's get
started
for our recipes today we're going to be
using a tri-tip if you've never heard of
tri-tip it's a large triangular tender
cut of beef that's usually cut from the
bottom sirloin it's a great cut of beef
to marinate whether we're grilling it or
roasting it it'll be really flavorful if
you don't see tri-tip as an option in
the store you can always ask the butcher
to just cut it for you right there they
don't charge you any extra and they all
know how to cut it so it's definitely a
good option and that way you get tri pit
we're starting off with the og which is
the Santa Maria style tri-tip marinade
try to pretty much originated from Santa
Maria California so the Santa Maria
style blend is a very very popular
option there we're using one gallon size
freezer bag so go ahead and open that up
and place your two to three pound a
tri-tip into your bag then add some sea
salt ground black pepper garlic powder
paprika onion powder dried rosemary
cayenne pepper Dijon mustard red wine
vinegar and some olive oil
then using your hands go ahead and rub
this all around the tri-tip in order to
make sure it all gets covered then press
all the air out of the bag as much as
you can and seal it on up and then we
can place this into the fridge to
marinate you definitely want to make
sure when you're marinating it that it's
in the fridge so that the meat stays at
a safe temperature you don't want to
marinate on the counter plus you want to
make sure that it's in a sealable
container whether that's a ziplock bag
or a reusable plastic container so that
all of those juices stay inside of the
container and not in your fridge and for
best results you're going to want to
marinate your tri-tip for about four to
six hours at least you can do it up to
24 hours but 4 to 6 hours is enough to
get all that flavor infused
to the tri-tip and it's going to be
tasty if you don't get to it in time you
can always freeze it and store it for a
few months next we're gonna make a
really flavorful sesame ginger tri-tip
marinade which is so delicious so we're
gonna grab our bag and open it on up and
place our two to three pound tri-tip
into our bag a 2 to 3 pound tri-tip is
gonna serve about 4 to 6 people so it's
a good size for a family next we're
gonna add in our sliced green onions
followed by minced garlic rice wine
vinegar raw honey freshly grated ginger
crushed red pepper flakes low-sodium soy
sauce low-sodium beef broth some olive
oil and some sesame oil then we're gonna
use our hands and we're gonna spread it
all around so everything's coated evenly
then we're gonna get as much air out of
the bag as we can feel it on up and then
place it in the fridge for later when
it's time to cook your marinated tri-tip
you can just discard all of the
additional marinating juices because
that also has raw meat juices in there
so it's not safe to like top anything
with so definitely get rid of that and
just cook the tri-tip now for a super
simple yet very flavorful balsamic
tri-tip marinade we're gonna grab our
tri-tip and put it into our freezer bags
then we're gonna add in some low sodium
soy sauce balsamic vinegar olive oil
minced garlic some rosemary and then
some ground black pepper then we're
gonna use our hands and we're gonna
spread that all around the meat to make
sure it's fully covered
then get all the air out of the bag as
much as possible and then seal the bag
on up and then place it in the fridge to
marinate for my marinating meat I like
to have a separate spot in my fridge on
the bottom that is a 9 by 13 casserole
dish and then I just put all of my
marinating steaks into that area so that
if anything were to drip it would go
straight into the casserole dish and it
would not go and contaminate all the
rest of my food so if you want to do
that it's a good plan so now you know
what tri-tip is how to marinate it and
how to make some delicious tri-tip
marinades to have just the best summer
