Bobby Flay Tri Tip Marinade
Bobby Flay’s Tri Tip Marinade is a savory mixture of olive oil, citrus juice, garlic, soy sauce, spices, and fresh herbs designed to break down the tri-tip’s connective tissue and infuse it with rich flavor. The result? A tender, juicy, and deeply flavorful roast that’s ready to grill, roast, or broil.
