Categories     Meat

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 -4 lbs beef tri-tip roast
3 tablespoons tequila
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

  • Grilling Method: Pre-heat gas grill to 400 degrees F. Place meat on grill top-side down for 4-5 minutes for nice grill marks. Flip over, reduce heat slightly and close lid,
  • To be prepared for flare-ups, keep an open beer by the grill and use as a 'fire extinguisher.' If no flare-ups occur, then enjoy the beer yourself!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Steak: Tri-tip is a flavorful and affordable cut of steak that is perfect for grilling. It's lean and tender, with a slightly coarse texture. If you can't find tri-tip, you can substitute another tender cut of steak, such as flank steak or skirt steak.
  • Use a Good Marinade: The marinade is what gives the steak its flavor, so it's important to use a good one. The recipe in this article uses a mixture of tequila, lime juice, garlic, and spices. You can also use your own favorite marinade recipe.
  • Grill the Steak Over High Heat: Tri-tip should be grilled over high heat to get a nice sear on the outside. This will help to lock in the juices and flavor. Grill the steak for 10-12 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the Steak Rest: Once the steak is grilled, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Tri-tip can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes. You can also serve it with a chimichurri sauce or salsa.

Conclusion:

Tequila Tri-Tip is a delicious and easy-to-make grilled steak recipe that is perfect for a summer cookout. The marinade is flavorful and the steak is tender and juicy. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
