Best 15 Grilled Tri Tip Recipes

GRILLED OR OVEN-ROASTED SANTA MARIA TRI-TIP

Steps:

• Trim silver skin. The meat may have a thick layer of fat, some of which can be sliced off, but keep a good amount to help baste meat.
• Sprinkle meat with rub and massage lightly all over. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour or as long as overnight. Remove from refrigerator an hour before cooking.
• Prepare charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high. Place roast on grill and sear one side well, 6 to 8 minutes, checking for flare-ups. Turn the roast and sear other side for about the same time. Then lower gas to medium-high or move the meat to a cooler part of the charcoal grill.
• Turn meat again and cook another 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and cook again. A 2-pound roast will require about 20 to 25 minutes total cooking time. The roast is ready when an instant-read thermometer reaches 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
• Rest roast on a cutting board 10 to 20 minutes. Slice against the grain. The roast is shaped like a boomerang, so either cut it in half at the center of the angle, or slice against the grain on one side, turn the roast and slice against the grain on the other side.

Thermometer should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium-rare. Let stand, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 5 minutes before slicing.

GRILLED TRI-TIP

Steps:

• Remove steak from refrigerator at least one hour prior to grilling. Optional: Some suggest coating meat with canola oil prior to applying rub. Apply your favorite tenderizing rub; let stand for one hour. Allowing the meat's temperature rise to match room temperature allows the seasoning(s) to penetrate the meat. Set grill to medium-low. You'll get a superb sear by allowing the meat to cook slowly, with a gradual rise in temperature. Turn meat after seven minutes. Turn again (and rotate 45 degrees to give it a nice cross-hatch) after another seven to eight minutes. After twenty minutes, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer-120°F/50°C should be your target (for medium-rare). Once the temperature is close, turn off the grill; leave the meat on for five additional minutes before removing. Cover meat with tent of aluminum foil for ten minutes. CUTTING: First cut the meat in HALF: Find the grain change and cut the meat in half (basically in the middle). Then cut from the ends TO the cut side by cutting across the grain. If you think you overcooked it, cut thin slices; the closer to rare, the thicker you should cut it. Use a cutting board with a tray around the outside to catch the juices. Plate the cut pieces, pour the juice over the meat, and serve.
