Wine and Herb Marinade

This wine and herb marinade has been the secret to my tri-tip sandwiches, which have been a crowd-pleaser since I developed it. The sweet wine, garlic, and parsley add a bright balance that perfectly complements the smoky depth of flavor from grilling over hot coals. This marinade works great on other meats like pork tenderloin or prime rib.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch Parsley, finely minced
• 1 Med. Yellow Onion, finely minced
• 4-6 Cloves Garlic, finely minced
• 2C Red Wine
• 1/4C Olive Oil
• 1-2 Tbsp. BBQ Rub (optional)
• 2-3 tsp. Kosher Salt
• 2-3 tsp. Black Pepper

Method

1

Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender and puree.

2

If marinating a large chunk of meat, poke holes in it with an ice pick or tenderizer and submerge in marinade.

3

Marinate meat in a Ziplock bag for at least 4 hours, but for best results, overnight.

My favorite way to use this marinade is to grill the meat over lump charcoal for a smoky flavor, then slice it thin for a delicious sandwich!
