Beef Tri Tip Marsala

[HighOnSmoke]

I was looking for something different to do with a Tri Tip. I saw a video by Rob Green from Smoking
Pit on how he made beef tri tip Marsala. This looked interesting so I decided that would be dinner
tonight. I basically followed his recipe, though the garlic probably should have been a bit smaller.
Here it is out of the refrigerator after 6 hours. 


I put it on the Grid Iron with just the Amaz’n tube smoker to get some extra smoke.  I am using
hickory pellets and I will be letting it cold smoke for at least an hour. I cold smoked it for 1.5
hours and then set the Grid Iron to 250.


Mushrooms, thyme and onions getting happy in a stick of butter.


I poured in the Marsala wine and the cup of beef broth. I will cook it down about a third and then
add some cornstarch to thicken it.


Cooked down and added the parsley to the mix. 


Tri tip is at 135. I added the corn about 20 minutes earlier and it is almost ready.


Tri tip is ready to be wrapped in foil for about 20 minutes.


Sliced!


A delicious plate of goodness!


I will definitely doing this one again!

Wow! What a great looking meal.

Good lookin' cook, HOS. The only thing I'd do differently (as if anyone cares) is try to mark the grain by inserting a toothpick just below the surface before cooking and slice against it for serving. Less chewy and more tender that way.

Good point! I thought about doing that with the toothpicks but then I forgot. Heck getting older.  I tried to remember which way the grain
went, but it shows in a few photos where it was cut with the grain. Still tender and juicy. Next one I do will be with the toothpicks.

Wow, fantastic.   Have a bottle of Marsala out in our "spare fridge."   Guess I'd better make use of it before it turns to vinegar!   Looks good.   Now the trick is to find a tri tip--not always easy around here.

Mike,
You hit a home run with that cook.  I will be delivering the last of the pellets this Friday.  I will also be stopping at the butcher shop Gordon was talking about the other day.  Looking for some tri-tip!!

Wonderful cook Mike! Being Italian we had this with veal, pork and chicken usually on Sundays. I bet the tri-tip tastes fabulous with that mushroom-marsala gravy!  Plate me please and red vino too!
