- Chef Jason Hill visits the Rose Bowl to get some tailgating tips and recipes from the pros.
Before the game, the Rose Bowl parking lot was transformed into an awesome tailgate party, where football fans were busy playing tailgating games and grilling up some great tailgating food.
On the hunt for tailgating ideas, I found that the most essential equipment is a portable tailgate grill, table and canopy. A big screen TV, generator and rocking stereo system is also a plus.
At this USC college tailgate, burgers, steak and carne asada rule, but we also find some bacon-wrapped hot dogs in the mix, cooked up with some grilled onions and peppers on a foil-wrapped sheet pan.
Of course, with this great party vibe we met plenty of generous fans who were willing to offer us a bite and share some great football tailgating tips. One group was making carne asada tacos on a street taco grill. They use it for all sorts of tailgating recipes, from chorizo and egg burritos for breakfast to carne asada. They also fill it with oil to make fried chicken or fish.
The secret to this great carne asada recipe was a steak marinade made from Sunny Delight, Lawry's seasoning salt, onions, cilantro and fresh orange slices. The key is to let it sit. You can't just mix it up and cook it right away. Let it marinate overnight.
Most of these die-hard fans arrive 4-5 hours early to get their spots on the lawn.
Our final stop brought us to a fun couple who were cooking up some delicious rib-eye steaks, hot Italian sausage, and pork chops. This couple said the best barbecuing is done with wood, and they prefer grape wood.
Here are some tailgating tips I learned from the game:
• Keep it simple
• Marinate your meat the day before.
• Arrive at the event 5 hours early to set up and get a spot.
• Use grape wood for the best flavor
• Use disposable containers
• Pack napkins and utensils the day before
• Bring lots of ice and bottled water
• Make a check list of cooking items
My favorite tailgating recipe is a beef tri tip recipe, which I marinate the day before in a Ziplock bag filled with olive oil and spices. When you're ready for the game, just throw the tri tip steak in the ice chest with your supplies and you're good to go.
For the tri tip marinade, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons black pepper, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon of salt.
Now, in a Ziploc bag, place 5 pounds of tri tip beef with about 1/4 cup olive oil and 1 tablespoon garlic-shallot puree. Add your seasoning mix and shake to combine. Place in the refrigerator overnight until you're ready to leave. This will feed about 10 of your hungriest friends, and you can easily double this recipe to serve more.
For this bbq tri tip, you're going to grill this over indirect heat until it's done, about 8-10 minutes on each side. Cooking tri tip can take around 30 minutes, depending on the temperature of your grill. For a smoky flavor, try adding some of that grape wood to your grill.
This recipe is great sliced and eaten on its own, or put into sandwich rolls topped with grilled onions, peppers and a horseradish sauce. You can make your own horseradish sauce by mixing some horseradish paste with sour cream or mayonnaise to your taste. Serve this tri tip with my grilled corn on the cob video recipe. I hope you enjoy it ! SUBSCRIBE! tinyurl.com/kfrblj7

Oh boy! I have written this down and will be trying it out with my family in Mexico (which is where I'll be as of Sunday..yay!)
"Chef Jason Hill's receipe is going south of the boarder ... literally"
It is a cut from the bottom sirloin. Ask your butcher if they have another name for it. You can season Flank Steak the same way as I did the Tri Tip.
Thanks for commenting!
@bagbruno Sounds wonderful! I will try your method next time. Cheers, Jason
Ha ha! Thanks for commenting!
I am so glad football has started again.
It was good to see Joe down on the field this weekend. Good Luck to you guys this year!
@WELOVETHEGREEN1992 Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!
0:52 omgoodness...that looked good!
thank you for replying. I will try the seasoning with Flank steak. It should come out good as long as it is cut against the grain. Very tender. Thanks chef.
haha! Thanks for commenting Xephon212! A friend of mine who is a Cal native visited Boston last summer. She could not say enough good things about it. I hope to visit someday myself.
Cheers,
Jason

Tailgating is a lot of fun! Lawry's will be tailgating in 2010.
we did a horseradish sauce for our steaks the other night. we used about 1/4 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream, fresh chives, 3 tblspoons prepared horseradish and a tbsp of stone ground mustard. And yes, we went to Pleasuretown after that.
Tailgating is a lot of fun. Lawry's will be tailgating this year outside the LA Coliseum. Check us out!
No prob you do a good job, we should meet up at a usc game one of these days
@Derek2001 Delicious!
Damn I want that sammich
@mrLioneMafia That's one form of tailgating, yes.
@00jimjones
You may be right. But I sure appreciate their football program. Well, besides Bush and OJ... sigh...
Not sure where and when tailgating started, but, clearly it was perfected at PENN STATE !
Mr. Chef
Tri-tip comes with a thick layer of fat naturally. If you leave the layer of fat your piece of meat will be way more tender and juicy. So next time you are ordering your tri-tip ask for the whole layer of fat it will give you a whole lot more flavor. I'm brazilian and In brazil tri-tip (picanha) is one of the most famous cuts of meat. Try to do it Churrasco style by seasoning it with rock salt with that layer of fat and grilling it slow. That is the basics for Brazilian Churrasco BBQ.
hey plz give me a number... how good was the sandwich you ate in the end of this video? 1-10?
Dear,Jason
My Parents Like Ur Recipes During Sport. It's taste Very Good

Hi. Your butcher may be able to cut the size down for you.
Hi,
i'm curious.... are people allowed to sell their food in front of these venues? There was a short scene where somebody handed over money to a guy at a grill....
Joe from Germany
I can't find a cut of meat called "Tri-tip" here in VA. I have heard about it though. Is it known by any other name ?? How about Flank Steak instead ??
Go Irish!!!
We are ND
I don't know if this is legal. I'm thinking it is not...
I'd give it a 7.5
I like my grilled chicken sandwich a little better. It's close to a 9 ha!
nice video, but i think i would sub the horse radish for mayo lol
Ha! Ha!
Ha......lol!
Ha ha!
@thorpe84 laws like those are set by states and not all states ave them. Even if they did have them, the cops wouldn't care. There's no real hooliganism coming out of these drunk fans as they're not going around breaking or destroying property or starting riots and lighting road flares. Tailgates are great. Come to the game hours before it starts and eat some great food cooked right in front of you as you drink beer with friends, family, and supporters of your team. Great tradition
What........
This one is an old video!
Yep. Been doing these for awhile now ha ha!
Not true at all.
Over 90% of the people I see tailgating head inside to watch the game come game time!
lol tommygirl youre ridiculous
tailgating is for broke ass folks you cant pay to get in the game
