2 3 lbs tri tip roast

1 pk Lipton onion soup mix (beefy

-flavor is best) 1/4 c Water

3 4 tbls soy sauce

Pepper (generous amounts) Garlic powder (generous -amounts)

In a sealable bag place all ingredients. Allow roast to marinate for approximately 1.5 hours or longer. Place on grill, fat side down. Grill first side 8 minutes, turn and baste. Grill another 8 minutes. Slice roast into 1-2" thick slices. They will be rare, place back on grill for another 30 seconds or so each side. Place on warmed plate.

This is the most tender tri tip I have ever tasted. It prompts me to use my propane grill in the middle of winter because it just doesn't do the same under the broiler!!
