This is one of the best tasting tri tip recipe I've been using. Very simple ingredients and easy to make. My husband loves this - he says it's not too spicy and leaves a kick in your mouth. I use the chipotle adobo as well and put some of the sauce in the marinade. This is great for picnics - took this for a picnic before heading into the Huntington Library with some ciabatta bread... yummy!
10/2/2011 01:17:06 PM Report AbuseI have been making this recipe for several years and when I just looked for it again (lost my copy), I couldn't believe nobody rated it! This is a great recipe! I use the chipotle in adobo sauce as I assume that is the intent of the recipe. For more spice, I add more than the recipe calls for. I also marinate it over night. It makes good leftovers also. If you and your family like spicy, try this!
