Grilled Tri-Tip with Three-Onion Sauce and Mojo Beef Kabobs are the only recipes you’ll need for grilling this weekend!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend! We partied all weekend long and kicked off the weekend with a fabulous get-together on Saturday. We had friends and family over and boy oh boy did we eat good!
I made up some Mojo Beef Kabobs using a recipe I found on beefitswhatsfordinner.com as well as Grilled Beef Tri-Tip Roast with Caramelized Three-Onion Sauce {see recipes below}.
My brother brought his famous Squash Casserole, we made up some corn and hot dogs {ALL BEEF!} for the kids and just had a fabulous time. It was one of those parties where I was asked over and over for the recipes and I sent home Ancho Steak Seasoning with guests {always an interesting party favor!} 🙂 The food was AMAZING and reminded me once again why I would never make it as a vegetarian…
Let’s start with the Tri-Tip. Now I have heard that Tri-Tip is mostly a California cut of beef. I don’t know if that is true but believe me when I say if you haven’t tried Tri-Tip before, you need to make every effort to do so if the very near future. Tri-Tip in every shape and form is a family favorite and is frequently grilled at parties year-round. I usually buy them pre-seasoned and was excited to try this recipe and make my own seasoning blend. Also, after reading that the Caramelized Three-Onion Sauce was a balsamic vinegar reduction – I was sold. Love balsamic! Here’s the recipe and trust me, you’re going to want to make this soon.

Next up are the Mojo Beef Kabobs. I love kabobs for parties – they’re so festive and colorful! The Mojo Sauce is what really set these kabobs apart from any other kabobs I’ve made. It was insanely delicious – so fresh and it would go great on any number of dishes.
