Your mouth will water as you grill this Marsala Tri Tip for dinner.
Easy marinade, whips together in minutes makes this easy dinner recipe perfect for any level cook.
We love the flavor Marsala Wine gives to this dish and served with sautéed mushrooms and onions and you will love this Marsala Grilled Tri Tip for dinner.
I personally love to go out and eat, and anything cooked with Marsala catches my eye. So why not marinate a Tri Tip roast in a wonderful Marsala Marinade?
With a few ingredients, you can whip together this easy marinade using either Marsala Wine or Marsala Cooking wine, yes…
There is a difference, however the flavors come together so easily that you can use either!
Allow your Tri Tip roast to marinate for at least 4 hours but as long as 24 hours. I personally love to let this soak over night.
The flavors have time to really work their magic in this easy recipe.
You can grill Marsala Tri Tip over charcoals or a gas grill. Just make sure to use a good thermometer to keep the heat just right.
We recommend using the ThermoWorks Digital Thermometer because it can really monitor temperatures and keep you on target for a perfect dinner.

Using a thermometer will make your cooking, grilling, baking etc more uniform.
It’s important to use a good high quality thermometer too, one that reads right down at the tip is super important so you know exactly how hot everything is.
For this recipe it’s so important to know the internal temperature of your Tri Tip, so you end up with the perfect desired doneness.
