A Delicious Tri Tip Roast Recipe - Grilling Tri Tip Can Be Easy!

Do you like to throw big barbecues in your backyard every weekend? Is throwing a few steaks on the grill and relaxing with your friends the ultimate fun for you? If this is true you may want to try buying a tri-tip. One of the best cuts of beef and enough to serve many people yet it is one of the least expensive steaks you can buy. One large steak versus a bunch of little steaks is easier and better for grilling and one tri-tip can easily feed 5-6 people.

Many people on the East Coast are unfamiliar with the tri-tip as a steak. East Coaster's see the tri-tip as a roast which technically it is but when grilled the taste resembles that of a steak. All the BBQ restaurants on the West Coast are guaranteed to be cooking up this cut of beef.

Steaks can be prepared in many ways. Once way is to marinate the meat overnight so that the flavors can fully incorporate into the meat. You can also use a dry rub which you put on just before placing on the grill. One favorite method of cooking is to use a dry rub and add your favorite flavored BBQ sauces ten minutes before its finished cooking leaving it with a crisp crust and juicy center. Be sure to grill your tri-tip over indirect heat at approximately 325 degrees. This way the meat is actually slowly cooked so that it comes out tender and succulent.

Don't be in a hurry with the tri-tip though it can easily take 60-90 minutes to cook or more depending on size. Figure approximately 30 minutes per pound cooking time.

If you are the type of person who has to burn the heck out of a steak to eat it then the tri-tip is definitely not for you. The tri-tip should be served medium or even medium rare. When the center temperature reaches 140 degrees it is time to remove it from the grill. Let it sit uncovered for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to settle and not pour out at the first slice. Enjoy!
