6 servings
1 hour total (Active 30 minutes)

Ingredients

  • ½ bunch fresh cilantro
  • ½ bunch fresh Italian parsley
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoons spicy steak seasoning, divided
  • Large zip-top bag
  • 2 lb sirloin tri-tip steaks

Steps

    1. Chop cilantro and parsley coarsely. Place in food processor bowl: cilantro, parsley, oil, vinegar, garlic, and ½ teaspoon seasoning; process until blended.
    2. Place 1 tablespoon mixture in bag. Season meat with remaining 1 teaspoon seasoning and place in bag (wash hands). Seal and let stand 30 minutes (or chill overnight) to marinate, turning occasionally.
    3. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium-high. Place meat on grill and cover (discard marinade); grill 18–20 minutes, turning often, until steaks are 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer steaks to cutting board and let stand 5–10 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time. Serve.
