The flavor was wonderful and the meat was so tender I just pushed on it and it fell apart. I didn't have white wine so I used merlot which makes more sense. It is beef after all. Delicious!

I could tell this would be spicy so I halved each of the peppers, but even with that modification, 2 bites in and I felt like I was gonna choke. It was almost like someone took a Q-tip and swabbed the back of my throat with cayenne. I admit I'm not a big fan of spicy dishes (I like bold flavor, not super spice), but I honestly thought with my modifications it would turn out okay. I don't know how anyone could eat this dish with full amount of peppers. The one star is for the fact that it is simple to make.

This is AMAZING! I have tried a few other similar recipes, but this one far outshines. I am all for simple so I made a few changes using what I already had on hand in my cupboards. I did the rub with Costco's steak rub (because it is so peppery) and garlic, browned the meat, in the Crockpot I put the roast, tomato's and wine. I dumped in a small handful of dehydrated onions and peppers, a few dashes of hot sauce and then let it simmer. YUMMY! Most def. a keeper. So easy, thanks!

Great recipe! I threw a packet of taco bell seasoning in there too. Came out great! Will be doing this again very shortly.

I simply did not like this. There was way too much sauce and way too much wine. I will not waste a wonderful tri tip steak like this ever again.

I didn't have cayenne pepper or ancho chili pepper so I substituted some chili limon stuff. And I would use 1/2 as much wine and crushed tomatoes. If u want you can add ortega chilis or something sililar for an extra kick.

Seriously awesome! I didn't have any white wine, so I substituted the same amount of Sake. Home canned tomatoes instead of store bought. Didn't have any ancho chili powder so I used a Chipotle flavor mix and threw about 3 T. of dehydrated jalapenos. Simply wonderful AND super easy!

I made this when I had a group of people eating and I didn't know when they would all show up. People loved it. I could not find tri tip so I used another less expensive cut of beef. I suspect you could use most any beef. There was way too much liquid for tacos so about an hour before people showed up I drained off most on the liquid into a sauce pot of and reduced in on the stove top. When it had cooked down to a pretty think mix I returned it to the beef and let it all cook on. The sauce is wonderful and it seems a shame not to concentrate the flavors. This was great for a casual party.
