Brandied Beef Tri Tip
Brandied Beef Tri Tip roast is a great way to make this cut of beef shine. Tri Tip, as it’s popularly known, comes from the bottom tip of the sirloin. It derives its name from its triangle shape and that it is at the very bottom tip of the sirloin. Tri tip is rich in meaty flavor and lower in fat than other cuts, it is also very tender and a great candidate for grilling. Originally a California cut of beef where it is the king of the grill, it has made its way east to the whole United States. Longer is better when marinating tri tip, as well as for allowing it to rest once it comes off the grill; it will be worth the wait. As the Brandied Beef Tri Tip Roast is grilled on indirect heat, you can use the active grill burners to make Grilled Asparagus, which is always a great complement to grilled beef. A Wilted Arugula Salad is a lovely appetizer to serve before the Brandied Beef Tri Tip, accompanied by a dry, robust red wine like Malbec, Sangiovese or Cabernet Sauvignon.
Prep Time: 15 minutes. Marinating Time: 8 hours or longer. Grilling Time: see Preparation steps 5 through 9. Serves 4.
