Marinated Tri Tip

Here's a yummy marinade for tri tip steaks or roasts. I used a roast. It was so nice to prepare this a day ahead and have it ready to throw on the grill tonight! I didn't have any mushrooms so I left them out. I don't really like mushrooms anyway, but I'm sure for those who do like them they'd be a great addition to this recipe.

Marinated Tri Tip

2 1/2 pounds tri-tip beef steaks or one tri-tip roast
1 large onion, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup A-1 steak sauce
1 cup teriyaki sauce
3 tablespoons crushed garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 (12 oz.) can Sprite

1 (8-oz) package mushrooms, sliced

Stir together marinade ingredients. Pour into a large ziploc bag, then add steaks and onions. Marinate overnight. (You could do this step, then place the bag in the freezer. Before cooking, let thaw in refrigerator).

Remove steaks from marinade and grill for 5-10 minutes on each side (for roast it will take longer). While meat is grilling, strain onions from marinade. Place in non-stick skillet, add mushrooms, and cook over medium-high heat. Cook until mushrooms have softened. Serve sauteed mushrooms and onions with grilled steaks.
