Dr Pepper Tri Tip Steak Food

TRI-TIP STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup hot water and the bouillon cube in a small glass baking dish; stir to dissolve. Whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil, the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, the juice of 1 lemon, the red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Tear 4 sprigs thyme and 3 sprigs rosemary into pieces; add to the marinade along with the scallions. Let cool.
• Using a fork, pierce the meat all over at 2-inch intervals. Add to the marinade, making sure it is completely submerged. (If necessary, weigh down the meat with a plate.) Cover and refrigerate 3 to 8 hours.
• Remove the meat from the refrigerator about 1 hour before grilling (leave it in the marinade). Put the mushrooms and bell peppers in a large bowl. Tear the remaining 2 sprigs thyme and 1 sprig rosemary into pieces and add to the bowl along with the garlic, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Season with salt and pepper and toss.
• Preheat a grill to medium, then prepare for indirect heat: For gas, turn off the burners on one side. For charcoal, push the coals to one side. Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry, reserving the marinade. Place the meat on the hotter side of the grill (direct heat) and cook, turning often, until charred, 15 to 20 minutes; scatter the herbs from the marinade on the meat as it cooks (it's OK if the herbs fall through the grates; they will flavor the smoke). Move the meat to the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat); cover and cook, turning and basting a few times with the reserved marinade, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, about 20 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the mushrooms and peppers to the grill over direct heat; cook, turning a few times, brushing with the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon and seasoning with salt, until charred and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Arrange the scallions from the marinade on the grill and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the vegetables.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and blend well. In a gallon-size ziplock plastic bag, combine all ingredients, add trip-tip and seal bag. Refrigerate overnight.
• Heat gas grill to 400 degrees. Remove tri-tip from marinade and lay on the hot grill; discard remaining marinade. Cook for 5 minutes. Turn over and grill for another 7 minutes. Turn occasionally and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 130 degrees.
• Allow to rest 10-15 minutes, then cut across the grain into thin slanting slices.

DR PEPPER GRILLED STEAK TIPS

Steps:

• If the steak tips are long strips, leave them that way. If they are already cut into pieces, that is fine too. Place in a gallon zip lock bag. Mix 1 cup of the BBQ sauce, all of the vinaigrette, the Dr pepper, vinegar and oil and pour over the meat. Marinate for about 12 hours but no longer that 24.
• When ready to grill, heat grill to high.
• Discard marinade and rinse the beef. Then pat dry, really pressing the paper towels into the meat.
• Oil the grill and the tips and place on the grill for two minutes. Flip and brush on the Dr Pepper BBQ sauce. After two minutes flip again and brush on more Dr Pepper BBQ sauce. Continue with this process using about 2 cups of the BBQ sauce or until the tips are cooked to your desired doneness. Save the remaining cup of BBQ sauce for serving.
• Remove the tips from the grill and let sit 10 minutes before cutting further and serving.
• If you used already cut up tips, serve with the additional BBQ sauce. If you bought the long strips, cut them now into chunks and serve with the BBQ sauce.
• Good served with our garlic mashed potatoes, see here.
