With my Achilles Boot on it makes it difficult to stand for extended period of times without feeling back pain so I couldn&#8217;t try any new recipes this weekend. Instead I picked up a steak for dinner. A Tri-Tip steak this time. Last week&#8217;s steak was a bit on the chewy side, so I hoped this different cut would be better.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4535.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9873\" title=\"IMG_4535\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4535-e1291595989686-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4535-e1291595989686-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4535-e1291595989686-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4535-e1291595989686.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>I marinated the steak in Merlot, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4066.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9868\" title=\"IMG_4066\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4066-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4066-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4066-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4066.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>I tossed in some spices and minced garlic:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4067.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9869\" title=\"IMG_4067\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4067-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4067-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4067-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4069.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9871\" title=\"IMG_4069\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4069-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4069-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4069-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_4069.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>I let the steak marinade for about 3 hours (mostly because I got caught up in watching Colin Firth movies on Netflix and forgot to get the steak going).<\/p>\n<p>Sunday night we brought back an old favorite.
