Beef Tri Tip

Store raw tri-tip in its original packaging or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Once cooked, store leftovers in an airtight container.

Tri-tip benefits from marinating for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to enhance flavor and tenderness.

When grilling, sear over high heat for a nice crust, then move to indirect heat to finish cooking to your desired doneness.

Always slice against the grain for the most tender bite.

For roasting, a moderate oven (around 375-400°F) works well, with a resting period after cooking.

Grilled vegetables (asparagus, bell peppers, onions)

Roasted potatoes or sweet potatoes

A fresh green salad

Mashed potatoes

Chimichurri sauce

Overcooking the tri-tip, which can lead to a dry and tough result.

Slicing with the grain instead of against it, making the meat harder to chew.

Not letting the meat rest after cooking, which causes juices to escape.
