TRI-TIP MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except tri-tip in a zip-lock bag.
• Add tri-tip and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.

TRI-TIP

Steps:

• Marinate tri-tip with dry rub and place on grill. Sear both sides then grill over low heat.

MARINATED TRI-TIP IN RED WINE AND HERBS

Steps:

• For the marinade: Place the steak in a 2-gallon resealable plastic bag and place the bag in a large bowl. Add the shallots, oil, honey, mustard, cilantro, parsley, thyme, garlic, oregano, wine, 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper to the bag. Cut the oranges in half, squeeze the juice into the marinade and then add the halves as well. Seal the bag, squeezing out any excess air, then massage the marinade into the steak, making sure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for 2 1/2 hours.
• Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, making sure to pull off any marinade ingredients like herbs or shallots that stick to the steak (reserve the marinade). Generously sprinkle the steak all over with salt and pepper. Grill until dark grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes per side; then turn the heat down, cover the grill and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, another 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the steak from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the marinade in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until thickened and reduced down to 1 1/2 cups, approximately 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer.
• To serve: Rub a cutting board with olive oil and garlic, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Put the steak on top and slice it against the grain. Garnish with cilantro and parsley leaves, and serve with the red wine herb sauce.
