This was an excellent marinade. There was lots of humming going on while it was eaten. Here in MS most butchers have not heard of a tri-tip. It is used for ground beef here. We're from CA and really missed having a good tri-tip roast cooked on the grill. We were fortunate enough to find this cut at Whole Foods in Memphis and this marinade made this expensive cut of meat well worth the price. Will definitely try this marinade on other cuts of beef and perhaps even pork. -
Love This!!! My only comment is make sure you let the meat marrinate long enough!

Fabulous!! 5 stars -
Hello from Portugal, this is a really great marinade, quite different from the ones I usually make. I've never used lime or tequila for that matter on marinades, but this is a great combination the meat comes out so tasty. By the way the picture looks fantastic in my opinion, it looks even better on MY table! lololol!! I will be making this more often thats for sure, thanks for posting.

This was really good. I did not have fresh cilantro and used ground cilantro seeds instead. And I put 1 teaspoon of cumin and 1/2 of lime zest - just personal preference. I only marinated it for 3 hours - it turned out just fine! But it does take a while to cook - for medium-rare - at least an hour. All of this aside - great, great, great!

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
