Tri-Tip Cooking Tip

Grilling Tri-Tip:

Seasoning:

• Start by seasoning the tri-tip with a dry rub or marinade of your choice. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and herbs like rosemary or thyme.

  Grilling:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the tri-tip on the grill over direct heat. Sear each side for about 5-7 minutes to create a nice crust.

  
  

  Indirect Heat:

• Move the tri-tip to indirect heat (reduce the heat or move to a cooler part of the grill). Close the lid and continue cooking for approximately 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness (usually around 130-135°F for medium-rare).

  
  

  Resting:

• Once done, remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.

Tri-Tip Cooking Tip

Oven-Roasted Tri-Tip:

Preparation:

• Season the tri-tip generously with your preferred dry rub or marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Searing:

• Heat a skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sear the tri-tip on all sides for a couple of minutes to create a caramelized crust.

  
  

  Roasting:

• Place the seared tri-tip in the preheated oven. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.

  
  

  Resting:

• Remove the tri-tip from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful result.

*Remember to slice tri-tip against the grain to maximize tenderness. Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of the cut and your preferred level of doneness.
