The Tri Tip is a West Coast Classic! It's a roast but acts like a deliciously tender steak. Perfect grilled, smoked, or even roasted in the oven! Everyone will tell you fruit and steak don’t belong together. However, balancing out the meat and sweet is the trick here! Using fresh and zippy flavors in your fruit salsa can make this a wonderful and unique beef condiment to wow everyone at the dinner table!

    INGREDIENTS

    • 1 32oz Certified Piedmontese Tri Tip
    • Summer Strawberry Salsa (Mix all ingredients below)
    • 1 small basket of fresh strawberries, diced
    • 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
    • ½ red onion, finely diced
    • ½ bunch of cilantro leaves, chopped
    • 6-8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
    • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or saba
    • 1 lime or lemon, zest and juice
    • 1 tsp salt
    • ½ tsp fresh cracked pepper

    DIRECTIONS

    1) Dry brine your tri-tip the night before by seasoning the beef and set the tri-tip in your fridge, uncovered, overnight. This allows the seasoning to penetrate the tri trip and ensure a flavorful crust!

    2) Pull the tri-tip out of the fridge 45 mins before grilling. Dab with a paper towel and lightly re-season with your favorite rub or salt.

    3) Grill over high heat until you hit 130 degrees internal temp, should take anywhere from 6-9 mins each side.

    You can flip the tri-tip on each side a few times to ensure even cooking without the crust getting too dark.

    If you did achieve a great crust and far away from your desired temp, simply move the tri-tip off direct heat, and allow the tri-tip to come up to temperate on a cooler part of the grill.

    4) Pull off the grill and let rest for at least 10 mins and slice against the grain.
