Directions: |
Directions:In a medium-sized bowl, combine all above marinade ingredients. Whisk together. The mustard helps bind it all. Using a fork, poke holes throughout the steak so the marinade can seep in. Place steak into a Ziploc Freezer Bag and pour your amazingly delicious marinade over steak. Let that baby marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 2 - 4 hours is preferred. Heat outdoor grill to high. To grill a tri-tip steak, start with high heat. This is an important step as you want to develop a crust on the steak to keep the steak juicy on the inside. Grill the steak for about 5-8 minutes per side. Watch for flare-ups and move to another part of the grill if it is flaring up too much. After it has been seared, lower the heat to medium or medium-low and continue to grill. Let it cook for another 8-10 minutes or until it reaches 130 degrees in the center of the steak. An average 2-lb. sized tri-tip steak will take approximately 22 – 25 minutes of total cooking time on the grill.
Since tri-tip steaks vary in thickness, your best bet is to use a meat thermometer to check for temperature. The instant-read thermometer reads 120 degrees for rare, 130 degrees for medium-rare, and 140 degrees for medium.
Now the important part! REST. Let that baby rest, Bro…Your work here is almost done! Let the heavenly tender meat juices rest right back into the delicious and tender steak and then WOW! into your mouth in that first bite…in about 10-15 minutes...seriously, back off…let it REST!
After meat nap time, slice that beautiful browned tri-tip up and ENJOY with your favorite veggie sides! |
