Indulge in the rich, smoky flavor of this incredible smoked tri-tip steak. The marinade adds a perfect blend of savory and aromatic elements, making each bite a true delight.

Ingredients: 1 tri-tip steak 2-3 pounds. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 3 tablespoons soy sauce. 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce. 2 teaspoons garlic powder. 2 teaspoons onion powder. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1 teaspoon black pepper. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Wood chips for smoking.

Instructions: Preheat your smoker to 225F 107C using your favorite wood chips for flavor. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, dried thyme, and brown sugar to create a marinade. Pat the tri-tip steak dry with paper towels and then generously coat it with the marinade, ensuring it covers all sides of the meat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. Remove the tri-tip from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature while you prepare the smoker. Place the marinated tri-tip on the smoker grate and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. Smoke the tri-tip at 225F 107C until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness 135F/57C for medium-rare, 145F/63C for medium, typically taking 1.5 to 2 hours. Once done, remove the tri-tip from the smoker, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve the smoked tri-tip steak slices with your favorite sides and enjoy!

For burger fans, these Sirloin Burgers with BBQ Caramelized Onions and Cheddar will make their mouths water. The sweet and savory BBQ caramelized onions and the creamy cheddar cheese go great with the juicy ground sirloin patties. At your next barbecue, serve them as a dish that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients: 1.5 lbs ground sirloin. Salt and black pepper to taste. 4 hamburger buns. 4 slices cheddar cheese. 2 large onions, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1/4 cup BBQ sauce. Lettuce leaves for garnish. Tomato slices for garnish.

Instructions: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become caramelized and browned, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Season the ground sirloin with salt and black pepper to taste. Divide it into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Place the burger patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your burgers more well-done. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each burger patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese. While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill until they are slightly browned. Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a burger patty with melted cheddar cheese. Top the burger with a generous spoonful of BBQ caramelized onions and a slice of tomato. Finish with the top half of the bun. Serve your Sirloin Burgers with BBQ Caramelized Onions and Cheddar hot, with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
