I just bought a tri-tip roast because I thought someone here said they were good to barbecue. When I got home, my husband pointed out that it would take forever to cook. It weighs about 15 lbs.

I have to make a confession. When we opened the bag, there were 5 3 lb roasts packed together. I never saw a tri-tip roast before. I still feel a little silly.

DH pretty much followed notlikely's suggestion. Sort of. We didn't have whiskey, so he soaked the roast in brandy and the steaks in beer. I guess they came out great. I don't eat beef (confession #2) so I have to rely on our guests' reactions. The roast looked like a perfect medium rare to me.

Thanks for all your suggestions. We still have 3 tri-tips to experiment with.
