A REALLY GOOD TRI-TIP MARINADE



A REALLY GOOD TRI-TIP MARINADE image

Categories     Marinade     Beef     Roast

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon onion salt or garlic salt
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
1/4 cup malt vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
A nice piece of trip-tip, anywhere from 1.5 to 4 lbs.

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.

A Really Good Tri Tip Marinade

If you're looking for a steak that's flavorful and tender, look no further than tri-tip. This cut of meat comes from the bottom sirloin and is known for its robust beefy flavor. The key to cooking a delicious tri-tip is to choose the right marinade.
What is a tri-tip marinade?
A tri-tip marinade is a mixture of ingredients that you use to flavor the steak before cooking. The goal is to add moisture and flavor to the meat, making it tender and delicious.
What makes a good tri-tip marinade?
There are several things you'll want to look for in a tri-tip marinade: - Acid: Acids, like citrus or vinegar, help break down the muscle fibers in the meat, making it more tender. - Fat: Fats, like oil or butter, add moisture to the meat and help the marinade penetrate more deeply. - Flavor: You'll want to choose a combination of spices and herbs that complement the beefy flavor of tri-tip. - Sweetness: This is optional, but a little bit of brown sugar or honey can help balance out the acidity of the marinade.
Some great ingredients for a tri-tip marinade:
- Soy sauce: The saltiness of soy sauce helps to enhance the beefy flavor of tri-tip. - Garlic: Garlic adds a pungent, savory flavor to the marinade. - Worcestershire sauce: This adds a tangy, umami flavor to the marinade. - Lime juice: The acidity of lime juice helps to tenderize the meat and adds a bright, citrusy flavor. - Olive oil: This adds moisture to the meat and helps the other marinade ingredients penetrate more deeply. - Herbs: Rosemary, thyme, and oregano all pair well with beef and can add a nice depth of flavor to the marinade. - Brown sugar: A little bit of brown sugar helps to balance out the acidity of the marinade and adds a touch of sweetness.
Tips for marinating tri-tip:
- Marinate for at least 4 hours, and up to 24 hours for the best results. - Make sure the tri-tip is fully coated in the marinade. - Keep the meat refrigerated while it's marinating. - Remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry before cooking.
How to cook tri-tip:
There are several methods for cooking tri-tip, including grilling, roasting, and smoking. No matter what method you use, it's important to let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
A few final tips:
- Don't overcook the tri-tip, as it can quickly become tough and dry. - Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the meat is at least 135°F (for medium-rare). - Consider slicing the tri-tip against the grain for maximum tenderness. In conclusion, a really good tri-tip marinade includes a combination of acid, fat, flavor, and sweetness to make the meat tender and flavorful. Some great ingredients to include in a tri-tip marinade are soy sauce, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, olive oil, herbs, and brown sugar. Remember to marinate the meat for at least 4 hours, and up to 24 hours for the best results, and to let it rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking. With these tips and a great marinade recipe, you'll be able to cook a delicious and tender tri-tip every time.

Tips on Making a Great Tri Tip Marinade

Tri tip is a flavorful and relatively inexpensive cut of beef that is perfect for marinating. A good marinade not only enhances the natural flavors of the meat, but it also helps tenderize it. Here are some tips on making a really good tri tip marinade recipe.
1. Start with High-Quality Ingredients
One of the most important factors in making a great tri tip marinade is to start with high-quality ingredients. Use the freshest herbs and spices, the best-quality oils and vinegars, and high-grade meats. This will give your marinade a depth of flavor and complexity that will make your tri tip stand out.
2. Use Acidic Ingredients to Tenderize the Meat
The acid in your marinade is what helps to tenderize the meat. Acidic ingredients like citrus juice, vinegar, or wine are especially good at breaking down the connective tissues in tougher cuts of meat like tri tip. However, don't overdo it with the acid; too much can make the meat mushy and unappetizing.
3. Balance the Sweet and Savory Flavors
Marinades often have a balance of sweet and savory flavors. Too much sweetness can overpower the meat, while too much saltiness can make it too salty. Experiment with different ratios of sweet, salty, and savory ingredients until you find the balance that works best for you.
4. Allow Enough Time for Marinating
The longer you allow your tri tip to marinate, the more flavorful and tender it will be. Plan ahead and allow at least four hours for marinating, but ideally overnight if possible. This will allow the marinade to fully penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor.
5. Don't Over-Marinate the Meat
While allowing enough time for marinating is important, it's also important not to over-do it. If you marinate the meat for too long, the acid in the marinade can start to break down the meat too much, resulting in a mushy texture. Four to six hours is usually enough time for tri tip to marinate.
6. Use the Right Amount of Oil
The oil in your marinade helps to keep the meat moist and prevents it from sticking to the grill or pan. However, too much oil can make your meat greasy and prevent the marinade from fully penetrating the meat. A good rule of thumb is to use about ¼ cup of oil per pound of meat.
7. Add Flavorful Herbs and Spices
Herbs and spices are what give your marinade its flavor. Some good choices for tri tip include garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and cumin. Experiment with different combinations until you find the blend that you like best.
8. Consider the Cooking Method
Finally, consider the cooking method you plan to use for your tri tip. If you're grilling it, you may want to include ingredients in your marinade that will add smoky flavor, such as smoked paprika. If you're roasting it in the oven, you may want to include ingredients that will complement the beef flavor, such as red wine.

Conclusion

Making a great tri tip marinade is as much an art as it is a science. With the right combination of ingredients, balance of flavors, and attention to detail, you can create a marinade that will take your tri tip to the next level. The key is to experiment until you find the blend that works best for you, and to always start with high-quality ingredients. By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to making a truly great tri tip marinade.
