1\/2 C. Cabernet Sauvignon
\n1\/3 C. sugar
\n1\/4 C. soy sauce
\n3 slices fresh ginger (each the size of a quarter)
\n2 cloves garlic
\n1 fat-trimmed beef tri-tip (about 2 lb.)<\/p>\n
In a plastic food bag (at least 1 gal.), combine wine, sugar, and soy sauce. With the flat side of a knife, crush ginger and garlic. Add to wine mixture. Wipe beef with a damp towel and put in bag, seal, and shake to mix. Set bag in a pan and chill, turning occasionally, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day. Lift beef from bag, reserving the marinade. Lay meat on a grill above a solid bed of medium coals or on a gas barbecue on medium heat (you can hold your hand at grill level only 4 to 5 seconds). Cover gas grill. Turning beef as needed to brown evenly, cook until a thermometer inserted in center of thickest part registers 125\u00b0 for rare, 20 to 30 minutes total for a 1 1\/2- to 2-inch-thick piece. Transfer meat to a carving board, keep warm, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour reserved marinade into a 1- to 2-quart pan. Over high heat, boil marinade until reduced to about 1\/2 C., about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, discard ginger and garlic. Pour marinade sauce into a bowl and add juices that have drained from meat. Slice meat thinly across the grain and accompany with sauce.<\/p>\n
