Рецепт Tri-Tip Hoagies with Sweet Heat Slaw....and a Saucy Mama Giveaway!
I started with a bottle of Saucy Mama Sweet Heat Marinade---just the sound of it was yummy. Take a look at the bottle.
Since the weather is just starting to get nice, I really wanted to make something on the grill. Have you heard of Tri-Tip? Oh, if you are from the West Coast, I'm sure you have. It's a little scarce here in Minnesota, but I managed to find some at Costco. Tri-Tip roast or steak is the triangular piece of meat that sits on the bottom of the sirloin. It is pretty lean, so it lends itself well to a marinade. Perfect for some Sweet Heat, no?
Tri-Tip Hoagies with Sweet Heat Slaw
- 1 (16 oz) bag Coleslaw
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup Saucy Mama Sweet Heat Marinade, divided
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds Tri-Tip Roast
- 4 Hoagie Rolls
- Olive Oil for brushing on the rolls
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Place the coleslaw in a large bowl. Mix the mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of Saucy Mama Sweet Heat Marinade in a small bowl. Transfer the mayo mixture to the coleslaw and mix well. Refrigerate until needed.
Put the Tri-Tip in a gallon sized freezer bag with the remaining marinade. Let this sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes (or refrigerate overnight and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes).
In the mean time, heat a gas grill to medium-high or light the coals in your charcoal grill and arrange them around the perimeter of the grill. Place the marinaded Tri-Tip over indirect heat and cover the grill. Heat for about 15 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature is 125-135 degrees F.; remove to a platter, vent with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the meat against the grain in thin slices.
While the meat is resting, brush each cut side of the hoagie rolls with olive oil. Grill until golden.
Layer each hoagie roll with Tri-Tip slices and top with coleslaw.
Truth be told, I should have taken it off of the grill a few minutes earlier---I like medium rare. This was perfect for the hubby, though. Whatever you do, don't overcook or the meat will be dry. I find the marinade to season the meat perfectly, but if you need more salt and a little pepper, be my guest.
In a word this is yumilicious. I poured some meat juice on it after the pic. :)
