In Episode 064 we are making a Red Wine Braised Tri Tip. This is an excellent dinner recipe that takes a little more time, so it is great for a Saturday night entertaining dinner, Sunday Family dinner, a Holiday dinner or a special occasion.

A tri tip is a cut of beef that is quite literally in the shape of a triangle, hence the tri (3) tips. It is commonly grilled or smoked, but also does really well when braised low and slow in the oven. We find it to be similar to pot roast.

Full Show Notes: https://momsdinner.net/episode-064-red-wine-braised-tri-tip/

Choose a tri tip that has nice marbling, since it is a lean cut the marbeling with create more flavor.

Keep the fat cap that is on one side of the tri tip, but remove any silver skin.

Use a wine you will also like to drink because you only use about 1 cup in the recipe and can drink the rest with dinner.

Be patient when you are browning the tri tip, a nice brown crust is just pure flavor development.

Whatever you do make sure you cut the Tri Tip against the grain. A tri tip has two directions of grain. Watch this video to correctly cut the tri tip.
