Firefury's Badass Tri-Tip recipie: Ingredients: -Nice slab of tri-tip, try to trim as much fat from it as possible (note: You can substitute a londom broil as well. Probably works well with steaks, too.) -1 or 2 packets of a peppercorn or Montreal Steak seasoning -Garlic power, onion powder, salt, and/or pepper if that packets are enough. -A little olive oil -A little white wine vinegar Step 1: Beat the shit out of the slab of meat. I prefer to take a fork and make like Black Mage and stab it about a bajillion times. Seriously, you want to pound this meat like you're trying to murder some poor shmuck. STAB IT DEAD! Step 2: In a plastic ziploc bag, pour in some lukewarm water (not too much, just enough to marinate the meat in. Add about 2-3 tablespoons of the oil, and 5 tablespoons of the vinegar. Pour in the seasoning, and agitate the bag contents to get it mixed up a bit. Step 3: If you haven't pounded the meat enough, POUND IT MORE. At this point I'm generally done stabbing it, and instead pound it with either fists or open palms. Just to be sure it's been beat up plenty. Step 4: Toss it into the bag, and seal the bag shut. Try to get as much of the air out as possible. Massage the bag and the contents until the meat is covered on all sides by the marinade. Step 5: Toss it in the fridge and forget about it for at least an hour. I like to let it soak in the marinade for several hours myself; it gives the vinegar more time to soften the meat and really soak up the flavor. Step 6: I haven't tried grilling it, but you probably can. I just put it on the broiler for about ten minutes on each side (generally this results in very rare meat; for those who don't like their dead cow bloody and allegedly still mooing, you'll want to broil it for about ten minutes per side, and then set it to bake until it's done to taste.) Step 7: Slice and serve!
