GRILLED TRI-TIP BEEF



Grilled Tri-Tip Beef image

Tri-tip, also known as triangle roast or culotte steak, is a relatively inexpensive cut of beef from the bottom sirloin. This cut is popular in southern California and some places in Texas. It is not for those of you who like meat well done, as, like flank steak, it will toughen with prolonged cooking. Slice it thin against the grain and serve with salsa, borracho beans, and warm tortillas or make grilled bread sandwiches with chipotle mayonnaise.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Tri-tip steak is a flavorful and affordable cut of beef that is perfect for grilling. Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Prepare the marinade: Marinating the tri-tip steak is a great way to add flavor and tenderness. Use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to help break down the tough fibers in the meat. Be sure to marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to a high temperature, around 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to sear the outside of the steak and create a nice crust.
  • Grill the steak: Place the tri-tip steak on the hot grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness. Be sure to flip the steak every few minutes to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Let the steak rest: Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful piece of meat.

Conclusion:

Grilled tri-tip steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your tri-tip steak turns out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy this amazing dish!
