Oakwood Grilled Tri Tip Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a grill to low (use Oakwood instead of charcoal if possible.).
• Mix together the seasoning salt mixture. Whisk together the red wine vinegar and olive oil for the basting sauce.
• Coat both sides of the tri-tips with HALF of the seasoning mixture, rubbing it in as you would a dry rub. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Place the tri-tips over a low temperature fire, 1 with fat side up, and the other with fat side down. Turn as the first side gets crispy, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Be careful of flare-ups, as the dripping fat will fuel the fire. Turn the tri-tips before the heat pushes juices out the top, and continue to turn using this timing method throughout the cooking process.
• After turning, baste with sauce and season lightly with remaining seasoning mixture, 4 times per side. Continue turning until the tri-tips are cooked to your liking. Remove from fire and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into 1/2-inch slices against the grain.

• Mix together all ingredients in a small bowl.
• Whisk together vinegar and oil in a small bowl.

Steps:

• Combine balsamic vinaigrette, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lime juice, and pepper in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Press out most of the air, seal the bag, and gently squeeze the ingredients to mix together.
• When marinade is well mixed, add tri-tip, making sure all sides are coated with the marinade. Squeeze out as much air as possible, seal the bag, and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, turning occasionally.
• Preheat an outdoor gas grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), according to manufacturer's recommendations, making sure grill grates are clean. Saturate a paper towel with cooking oil, and use tongs to rub oil on the grate.
• Place tri-tip on oiled grate, close the lid, and grill for 3 minutes. Using tongs or a meat fork, rotate meat a quarter-turn, close the lid, and grill for another 3 minutes. Flip the meat and repeat.
• Leaving one burner on, turn off the burner on one side of the grill and move the tri-tip to the unheated side. Close the lid and continue cooking for 5 or 6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat.
• Test the interior temperature with an instant-read thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of the meat. Continue cooking until the meat reaches the desired degree of doneness, see note on the bottom.
• Remove the meat from the grill to a cutting board and tent with foil. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes. This is an important step in the process because residual heat will allow the meat to continue cooking.
• Cut into thin slices across the grain of the meat and serve.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut small slits into the top of the roast. Stuff the slits with slices of garlic.
• Mix together salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Rub entire mixture all over the tri-tip. Refrigerate at least an hour and up to all day. Take the meat out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before grilling.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Place the meat directly above the flame for 5 to 10 minutes per side (depending on thickness) to sear the meat and lock in the juices.
• Turn the grill down to medium heat and continue to cook for another 25 to 30 minutes, trying not to flip it too much. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Thermometer should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium-rare. Let stand, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Mix together the salt, garlic salt, celery salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, dill, sage, and rosemary in a bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.
• Use a damp towel to lightly moisten the roast with water, then pat with the prepared rub. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, up to overnight, for the flavors to fully come together.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Place the roast onto the preheated grill and quickly cook until brown on all sides to sear the meat, then remove. Reset the grill for medium-low indirect heat (if using charcoal, move coals to the outside edges of the grill pit).
• Return the roast to the grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the desired degree of doneness has been reached, about 1 1/2 hours for medium-well. Remove from the grill and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving across the grain in thin slices to serve.
