Instructions
- Trim silver skin off the trip tip but leave some of the fat.
- Massage the meat with the rub until fully covered and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Prepare a charcoal grill or gas grill to high. Place tri-tip on grill and sear one side well, 6 to 7 minutes making sure it doesn’t burn. Rotate the tri-tip and sear other side for about the same time. Reduce heat to medium-high or move the meat to a part of the grill that’s not over direct flames. Turn meat again and cook another 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and cook again for an additional 5-6 minutes. A 2-pound roast will need about 20 to 25 minutes total cooking time. Cook until an instant read thermometer reads 120°F for a rare roast, 130°F for medium-rare and 140°F for medium.
- Remove from the grill, let rest on a cutting board 10 to 20 minutes for the juice to redistribute.
- To serve, slice against the grain. Serve with pico, guacamole, and charred tortillas.
Notes
- Tri-tip is a flavorful and versatile cut of beef that is a favorite of many grillers and BBQ enthusiasts. Here are some tips for cooking the perfect tri-tip:
- Choose a good quality piece of meat: Look for a tri-tip with good marbling and a bright red color. The more marbling, the more flavor and tenderness the meat will have. I love going with something from Santa Maria if at all possible.
- Season well: Tri-tip has a lot of flavor on its own, but you can enhance it with a good seasoning rub. You can use my All Things Meat Seasoning or make your own. If you opt to make your own, use a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to create a flavorful rub.
- Let the meat come to room temperature: Take the tri-tip out of the fridge about an hour before cooking to let it come to room temperature. This will help it cook more evenly.
- Preheat your grill or oven: Whether you are grilling or roasting your tri-tip, make sure your grill or oven is preheated to the right temperature. For grilling, heat the grill to medium-high heat. For roasting, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cook to the right temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the tri-tip is cooked to the desired temperature. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 135°F. For medium, cook to 145°F. Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice against the grain: When slicing the tri-tip, be sure to slice against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Enjoy: Serve your perfectly cooked tri-tip with your favorite sides and enjoy!
