Comment posted to Santa Maria Marinade for Tri-Tip Recipe by Shiresa.

I am from Santa Maria born and raised. I love to eat food, I love to cook food, and I love to bbq. The best Tri-Tip I have ever had is a Salsa Marinade.

Combine Ranchero Salsa,
lemon juice,
worcestershire,
sliced white onion,
and whole peppercorns

in a plastic bag, throw in the Tri-Tip and marinade for 6 hours. Then grill as normal.. I sh*t you not, that is the tastiest juiciest Tri-Tip I have ever had. That marinade tenderizes the meat and contains the juices even after it is put on the grill. Try it. It is impressive.
