Grilled Tri Tip is a tender, juicy cut of beef marinated in a flavorful blend of garlic, vinegar, and spices, then grilled to perfection. It’s a delicious and easy-to-make main dish perfect for gatherings or special dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 tri tip roast (2–3 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, soy sauce or Worcestershire, vinegar, brown sugar (if using), paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and optional herbs or red pepper flakes.
  2. Place the tri tip in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400–450°F) and oil the grates.
  4. Remove the tri tip from the marinade and pat dry. Grill over direct heat for 5–7 minutes per side to sear.
  5. Move to indirect heat, cover, and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium (about 20–30 minutes).
  6. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain and serve.

Notes

  • Marinate overnight for maximum flavor and tenderness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
  • Always slice against the grain to keep the meat tender.
  • Let rest before slicing to retain juices.
