Ingredients:

  • 1 pound tri-tip steak
  • 2 cups red wine
  • 1 can of beer
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • juice from 6 to 8 limes
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro,chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients except the tri-tip steaks and stir. Place steaks in a large baking dish or a resealable bag. Pour marinade over steaks. Let sit for several hours (up to 24). Preheat grill. Place steaks on grill over a medium high heat. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes or until they reach desired doneness. Let steaks rest for about 5 minutes before you serve them.

If you want to add some extra heat to the marinade chop up a seeded jalapeño pepper and toss it in.
