How to Grill Tri-Tip the Easy & Tasty Way - A Fantastic Tri Tip Beef Recipe



If you are looking for a great tri tip beef recipe, this article is what you need!
Do you like being outside with your friends grilling on a sunny summer day? Well then, if you enjoy steak, I would recommend getting a tri-tip. It is one of the best cuts of meat to serve to a lot of people. The best part about it is that it is a lot cheaper to serve a tri-tip steak than a bunch of individual steaks. A decent size tri-tip can easily feed about five hungry people.
Most people who live on the East Coast have not been introduced to the tri-tip. It is actually considered to be a roast, and comes from the bottom of the sirloin. Even though it is a roast, when grilled, it is much more similar to steak. If you go to a BBQ on the West Coast you are guaranteed to find this cut of meet sizzling on the grill.
People prepare this steak many different ways. A great way is to marinate it overnight so that the flavor fully soaks into the meat. You can also coat it with a dry rub right before throwing it on the grill. My favorite way of cooking this steak is apply a dry rub, then spread BBQ sauce all over it about 10 minutes before it is ready to come off the grill. If grilled properly, it should leave the meat with a nice crust and a great center flavor.
Make sure that you grill your tri-tip over an indirect heat at about 325°F. This is referred to as slow cooking, and yes its very slow (ranging from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the size of the meat). You should figure about 30 minutes per pound.
If you like your steak burnt to a crisp, then the tri-tip is not for you. This cut of meat should be cooked medium rare to medium. When the center of the meat reaches 140°F, it is time to take it off of the grill. When it is off the grill, let it sit uncovered for about 10 minutes so that the juices won't all run out.
