2 (2-pound) whole beef tri-tips
1 1/4 cups beef broth
2/3 cup lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons dried cumin
2 tablespoons dried coriander
5 garlic cloves, minced
vegetable oil
salt and freshly ground pepper

Remove all fat from tri-tips. Make marinade by whisking broth with lime juice, olive oil, cumin, coriander and garlic until well blended. Place tri-tips in glass baking dish. Pour marinade over beef and cover. Refrigerate at least 6 hours, no longer than 24.

Remove tri-tips from marinade. Barbecue over medium-hot coals, turning occasionally, about 1 hour for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer or instant-read thermometer to be certain meat is cooked the way you want it. Brush meat with oil frequently while barbecuing. To serve, cut across the grain into thin slices; season with salt and pepper.


Fun Fact: The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay onto the Pacific Ocean. The bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937, and has become an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and California. Often shrouded in a thick fog, the Golden Gate Bridge sways 27 feet to withstand winds of up to 100 miles per hour. Its two great cables contain enough strands of steel wire (about 80,000 miles) to encircle the equator three times, and the concrete poured into its piers and anchorages would pave a five-foot sidewalk from New York to San Francisco.
