Tequila Marinated Tri-Tip w/ Avocado Cream Sauce
At my Foodbuzz 24×24 party, I made a tri-tip for the entree.
The Best Tri-Tip Steak Marinade!
The tri-tip marinade was made of tequila, soy sauce, olive oil, cilantro and much more. Marinating it for a whole day made it nice and juicy for my guests. With this, I made an avocado cream sauce to serve over the top. I had seen a recipe for this type of thing earlier on For the Love of Cooking and was waiting for my chance to make it. It is similar to guacamole, but I added sour cream along with red wine vinegar to make it into more of a sauce.
