Simple Tri Tip Steak Recipes

SKILLET TRI-TIP STEAK

Steps:

• In a large cast iron skillet or other heavy-duty skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
• In a small bowl, combine rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub each side of the steak with the mixture and place the steak in a hot skillet.
• Sear on both sides for about 2 minutes per side.
• Reduce heat to medium. For medium-rare steaks (internal temperature of 145° - 160°F), cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, turning once to ensure even cooking on both sides. For well-done steaks, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Remove steaks from skillet, cover, and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. For a more tender result, cut steaks in thin slices against the grain.

SIMPLE TRI-TIP STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200F.
• Season the steaks on both sides and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Bake until the internal temperature reaches about 110F.
• Meanwhile, preheat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat as the steaks are approaching 110F internal temperature. Use a BBQ or an oven-safe meat thermometer. There is no other good way here.
• Remove the steaks from the oven and immediately place on the hot pan. Sear on both sides until nicely browned and the desired target temperature is achieved. Remember, the temperature will keep rising after you remove the steaks from the pan so you have to account for that. Here is a quick reference sheet I use:Rare - Remove from the pan at 120°F, 125°F Final Cooked TempMedium Rare - Remove from the pan at 130°F, 135°F Final Cooked TempMedium - Remove from the pan at 140°F, 145°F Final Cooked TempMedium Well - Remove from the pan at 150°F, 155°F Final Cooked TempWell Done - Remove from the pan at 160°F, 165°F Final Cooked TempKeep a close eye on the steaks if you used brown sugar as they will brown faster and you may have to flip them a few times to prevent burning.
• Remove the steaks from the pan and place on a serving platter. Cover with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• I recommend serving tri-tip steaks with homemade red wine sauce and your favorite side dish.

THE BEST BEEF TRI-TIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Mix salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, dried rosemary, and fresh rosemary together in a small bowl.
• Place tri-tip in a baking pan. Season generously with the spice rub until both sides are completely covered.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, or until desired doneness, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Flip meat over halfway.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil and let meat rest for 20 minutes. Remove tri-tip to a cutting board and cut into 2 pieces along where the grain changes direction. Slice meat across the grain and transfer to serving plates.
• Mix beef broth in with the pan drippings and drizzle over the slices.

SIMPLE GRILLED TRI-TIP STEAK

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, combine the white vinegar, vegetable oil, soy sauce, garlic, black pepper, and salt to make the marinade .
• Make sure the marinade is mixed well and pour it into a resealable plastic bag. Add tri-tip steak and make sure it is well coated. Using tongs , carefully turn steak over a few times in marinade. Seal bag, and let the steak marinate for 2 to 6 hours, or up to overnight.
• Prepare a medium (500 F to 600 F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Remove tri-tip steak from marinade and discard the marinade. Place steak on the preheated hot grill.
• Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once or twice during the cooking process to get an even sear, including holding the sides against the grill for a few minutes to make sure all surfaces are seared. Remove steak once it has reached the desired temperature .
• Rest steak for 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure to tent with aluminum foil if the rest time is longer than 5 minutes or if you are waiting for other items to come off the grill so the meat does not become cold.
• Slice tri-tip against the grain in thin pieces and serve with your favorite sides.
