Ingredients

  1. 2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo
  2. 4 cloves garlic
  3. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  4. 1/2 cup olive oil
  5. 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  6. 1/2 cup good red wine, preferably Spanish Rioja
  7. 3 (3-pound) tri-tip steaks
  8. Baguettes, for serving
  9. Santa Fe Aioli, recipe follows
  10. 4 canned chipotle chiles in adobo
  11. 1/2 cup peanut oil
  12. 1/2 cup honey
  13. 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  14. 4 tablespoons brown mustard
  15. 1 cup fresh lime juice
  16. 4 cloves garlic
  17. 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  18. 2 teaspoons salt
  19. 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, optional

Instructions

  1. Combine chiles, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, and red wine in a large bowl. Mix well and divide among 3 large resealable bags. Add 1 steak to each bag and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours. 
  2. Heat grill to medium-high and grill steaks for about 10 to 15 minutes on each side, turning halfway through to achieve cross-hatch marks. Remove from grill, tent with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes. Carve into slices with a sharp knife and serve on baguettes with the Santa Fe Aioli. 
  3. Combine all ingredients, except cilantro, in a food processor and pulse until aioli is thick and creamy. If you like cilantro, fold it in at the end.
