I'm sick of it and I'm starting this thread over because..

I searched all over this website and I can't find a good marinade for tri-tip... so, rather than trash the search function and read every one of the Eleventyhundred pages of the What's For Dinner thread... anyone have a good, basic recipe for a marinade for tri-tip

 

What's tri-tip?

Depends what you're having marinaded. I can think of a simplified version of a marinade my family uses for chicken and (I think) fish.

 

Slappy, you can probably find something at Epicurious

And yes, what's tri tip?

 

Slappy:

You're going to have to experiment with proportions - I'm not home now, so I don't have my recipe in front of me, but it goes something like this:

1 large bottle of A-1 sauce
1/4 large bottle of Worchester (sp?) sauce
1 teaspoon onion flakes
1 cup Caro syrup
1 tablespoon ketchup

optional:
brown sugar, to taste.

Add all ingredients, stir thoroughly. Put tri-tip in marinade, ideally overnight.

When you cook the tri-tip, drain the marinade into a sauce pan and warm over low heat.

 

Oh, just looked it up.

We call it "bottom sirloin".

 

corn syrup in marinade? that sounds disgusting.

i'd go with a dry rub instead of a marinade. take your favorite spices - some combo of paprika, pepper, salt, maybe thyme, oregano, basil and massage it in with your hands. get those hands dirty and really rub it in.

 

Can't have tri-tip without garlic. It's not possible.

 

Wow, I would so much rather have something called tri-tip than bottom sirloin.

 

I just wish I could get a tri-tip cut. It's all about pork-butts in this neck of the woods.

For a teryaki flavor...

6 cups soy sauce (low-sodium or low-salt if you can get it)
1/4 to 1/2 cup solid sugar

1 onion finely, real finely, chopped
1 bunch of finely chopped parsley
1 full clove fresh garlic
1 small leg of fresh ginger, finely chopped.
A TBSP, give or take of fresh pepper
A drop or two of Tabasco/hot sauce (which cuts the sweetness)

Drop the soy sauce in a pot with everything else to dissolve most of the sugar. Add the last bit to your taste.

Make sure the sugar is dissolved.
Marinate.

 

I just gotta ask ...

What kind of a moron, when logged on to the tubes we call the internets, comes to SportsJournalists.com for marinade advice when the google gives you A PAGE FULL OF INFO.

Come on, slappy. I expect better from you.

Tri-tip is GREAT marinated in anything. Might be a few good ideas if you google tri-tip and Santa Maria, home of the best tri-tip anywhere.

 

Because sometimes, the best recipes are yours and no one elses.
