How to Make Grilled Tri Tip Roast With Tequila Marinade
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup tequila, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Using a small sharp knife, pierce the 2-3 pound tri-tip roast all over.
- Place the tri-tip in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Add the marinade to the bag.
- Seal the bag, pressing out excess air.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
- Prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
- Remove the tri-tip from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the tri-tip for approximately 10-12 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on desired doneness and grill temperature. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your desired internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
- Transfer the tri-tip to a cutting board.
- Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Slice diagonally against the grain and serve.
