Yield:
2 4-pound tri-tips

Ingredients

  • 2 (4 pound) beef tri-tip roasts, trimmed

  • 1 cup dark lager (such as Shiner® Bock)

  • 1 cup lemon juice

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup Worcestershire sauce

  • ¼ cup ground black pepper

  • ¼ cup garlic salt

  • ¼ cup garlic powder

  • ¼ cup onion powder

  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Directions

  1. Place tri-tips in one or two gallon-sized zip-top bags or in a large sealed container.

  2. Whisk lager, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, garlic salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper together. Pour marinade over the tri-tips. Seal, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate, flipping once halfway, 8 hours to overnight.

  3. Lightly oil the grate of an outdoor grill. Arrange coals or mesquite wood on one side of the grill and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. Remove tri-tips from the marinade and place directly over the wood or coals. Sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move tri-tips to the opposite side of the grill, cover, and grill until desired doneness is reached, about 45 minutes for medium-rare.

  5. Transfer to a cutting board, wrap in foil, and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Unwrap and slice across the grain.
