Ingredients

  • 3-4 lbs tri tip beef or top sirloin, sirloin tip, flap meat, or flank steak
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 large white onion, sliced thick
  • 1 tablespon minced garlic
  • 1-2 teaspoons coarse Kosher salt Sea salt is another option; they have far better flavor than table salt, if using table salt, use 1/2-1 teaspoon

Instructions

  • Slice the tri tip in the center to have two pieces, each has a different grain, so it will cook quicker, and slice more easily.
  • Slice the onion into thick slices (so they stay together when grilled.
  • In a gallon plastic bag, place the beef with onion, brown sugar, Worcestershire, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Marinate for 30 minutes to overnight. I've done it both ways. I prefer it overnight, but in a hurry, it's still nice and tasty.
  • Heat the grill until over 400 degrees° then place the meat on the grill and sear it on both sides, grill for a few more minutes. Add the sliced onion and zucchini or desired vegetable.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-high to medium heat. Cook until the meat is 135°F. Remove and allow the meat to rest with a piece of foil on top for 10 minutes, then slice and serve. It's delicious with mashed potatoes
