Tri-tip is a full-flavored cut of meat that remains juicy and moist even when trimmed of fat. And if you are lucky to have any leftovers — sliced tri-trip (hot or cold) is delicious on a salad or sandwich.
When it comes to tri-tip I usually leave it up to my hubby to smoke in the smoker, but this time I wanted to be able to grill it indoors for a quick an easy dinner.
I made a marinade and let the tri-tip soak all day, about 8 hours, and I’m guessing if I let it marinate overnight it would have been even better. The marinade I made makes a great dressing so be sure to save some to drizzle over the meat and veggies after cooked.
Every time I think of Brussels sprouts I think of being a kid and watching shows like The Brady Brunch. The kids would always complain about hating to eat Brussels sprouts and I always wondered what they tasted like. My mom or grandma never made them. I hadn’t tasted a Brussels sprout until I married my husband and my mother-in-law roasted some for Thanksgiving. They were glorious!
Brussels sprouts are full of vitamins. They are a simple dish to make and with a splash of lemon juice and chipotle hot sauce these pan seared Brussels sprouts are very flavorful cooked with smoky chipotle and fresh lemon juice — this side dish enriches the meal, especially the outer charred leaves.

Instructions
Grilled Tri-Tip:

- Close bag and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.

- Set a griddle pan over medium-high to high heat.

Seared Chipotle Brussels Sprouts:
