Tri Tip Recipes

6 HOUR TRI-TIP MARINADE

Steps:

• To make the marinade, mix all of the ingredients except for the beef in a large mixing bowl. Place the trimmed tri-tips in a plastic container and pour the marinade over. Let stand in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
• Heat grill to medium temperature.
• Place tri-tips on grill at a 45-degree angle to establish grill marks and cook about 35 minutes, or until cooked to desired doneness. Remove the tri-tips from the grill and let rest about 2 to 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite side dishes.

GRILLED TRI TIP

Steps:

• Preheat. Preheat grill to medium (350 degrees F) for two-zone grilling.
• Season. Season the tri tip on all sides with Beef Rub.
• Make the mopping liquid. Combine all ingredients for the mopping liquid in a small bowl and set aside.
• Grill. Place the seasoned tri tip roast directly on the grill grates over indirect heat. Close the lid and grill for 30-40 minutes, flipping every 6-7 minutes. Mop liberally with mopping liquid after each time you flip the roast. Continue to grill the tri tip until the internal temperature reads 125 degrees F (for medium rare).
• Sear. When the roast reaches an internal temperature of 120 degrees F, move it over to direct heat and grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (See notes below for each temperature).
• Rest, slice, and serve. Remove the tri tip from the grill. Rest the meat for 10 minutes then slice against the grain and serve.

GRILLED TRI-TIP WITH SPICE RUB

Steps:

• Trim the large chunks of fat (or have your butcher do this) from the tri-tip, and cut the thin silvery skin off if you can. Rub the salt all over the tri-tip.
• Combine the remaining seasonings (except the olive oil) in a small bowl and rub into the tri-tip. (*It will seem like a lot, but that's a good thing!).
• Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Place the spice rubbed tri-tip in the bag with the olive oil and rub it in to coat completely. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal. Place in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours, or up to 24 hours.
• When ready to grill, preheat an outdoor gas grill to 350-400 degrees F. Remove the tri tip from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature while the grill is heating.
• Place the tri-tip directly over the flames on the hot grill. Close the lid and watch for flare-ups.
• Cook approximately 8-10 minutes per side for medium rare. It can take up to 20-25 minutes to cook a 2 pound tri-tip, so check the temperature (120 degrees for rare, 130 for medium rare and 140 for medium), or in a pinch use the flesh test (see notes).
• Place the cooked roast on a cutting board to rest, covered loosely with foil for about 10 minutes.
• Uncover and cut in half, where the grain changes direction, then cut each piece against the grain into 1/2 inch slices.
• Serve immediately.

TRAEGER SMOKED TRI-TIP RECIPE - TRAEGER GRILLS®

Steps:

• When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke, if available.
• In a small bowl, combine the salt and pepper. Generously season all sides of the tri-tip.
• Insert the probe into the thickest part of the tri-tip. Place the tri-tip directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 130℉, 60-90 minutes.
• Remove the tri-tip from the grill and wrap in foil. Increase the Traeger temperature to 450°F (or 500°F, if available) and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
• Unwrap the tri-tip. Re-insert the probe and return the tri-tip to the grill. Sear on each side for 4 minutes.
• Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice against the grain, then serve. Enjoy!

TRI TIP

Steps:

• Remove fat from the trip tip. On the side that you have removed the fat sprinkle your favorite seasoning. Place in a sealable plastic bag and add Worcestershire sauce. Let it marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Remove tri tip from the marinade and grill over high heat until desired doneness.

THE BEST BEEF TRI-TIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Mix salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, dried rosemary, and fresh rosemary together in a small bowl.
• Place tri-tip in a baking pan. Season generously with the spice rub until both sides are completely covered.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, or until desired doneness, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Flip meat over halfway.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil and let meat rest for 20 minutes. Remove tri-tip to a cutting board and cut into 2 pieces along where the grain changes direction. Slice meat across the grain and transfer to serving plates.
• Mix beef broth in with the pan drippings and drizzle over the slices.
