Sirloin Tri-Tip is a great cut of meat. It looks like a roast but tastes like sirloin steak. You probably won’t find Sirloin Tri-Tip in the meat case of your grocery store, but any butcher can cut it. Depending on how many persons you are serving, you will need 1 to 2 pounds of Sirloin Tri-Tip. Doc cut 14 slices from a 1.81-pound Tri-Tip.
Steakhouse Grilled Sirloin Tri-Tip with Grape Tomatoes and Poblano Peppers in Balsamic Dressing
Steakhouse Marinade
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Steakhouse seasoning (I used Montreal steak seasoning)
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 to 2 pounds Sirloin Tri-Tip
In a 1 gallon size plastic zip-top bag, mix all marinade ingredients together. Place Sirloin Tri-Tip in bag. Seal bag. Turn bag over several times to coat Tri-Tip with marinade. Refrigerate 24 to 48 hours turning bag over occasionally.
Remove Tri-Tip from refrigerator and let sit on kitchen counter 30 minutes. Heat grill to high. Sear 2 minutes on each side. (When meat is seared, it should release easily from the grill grate.) Lower grill temperature to 300ºF. Grill around 50 minutes more or until Tri-Tip is 130ºF for medium rare. Remove from grill, cover with foil and let rest 15 minutes. Slice across the grain using an electric knife. Enjoy!
