How to Make Barbecue Tri Tip Marinade

  1. In a large zip-top bag, combine the tri-tip roast, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup beer, and 6 whole peeled garlic cloves.
  2. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even distribution of the marinade.
  3. Preheat your barbecue to medium-high heat (approximately 350-400°F).
  4. Place the marinated tri-tip roast on the grill grates. Cook for approximately 65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135-140°F for medium-rare, using a meat thermometer for accuracy. Remember to rotate the roast occasionally for even cooking.
  5. Remove the roast from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  6. Serve immediately on warm flour tortillas with shredded cheese and your favorite salsa. Enjoy!
