For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C). For medium, aim for 135-145°F (57-63°C). Resting the meat is crucial! This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful cut. Consider using a meat thermometer for accurate results. If the meat is cooking too fast, reduce heat or move to indirect heat.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, combine balsamic vinaigrette, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lime juice, and pepper. Gently squeeze the ingredients to mix thoroughly. (2 minutes)
02
StepAdd the tri-tip to the marinade, ensuring all sides are well coated. Remove as much air as possible from the bag, seal it, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, turning occasionally. (8 hours +)
03
StepPreheat an outdoor gas grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), following the manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the grill grates are clean. (10 minutes)
04
StepSaturate a paper towel with cooking oil and use tongs to carefully oil the grill grate. This will prevent the meat from sticking. (2 minutes)
05
StepPlace the tri-tip on the oiled grate, close the lid, and grill for 3 minutes. Rotate the meat a quarter-turn, close the lid, and grill for another 3 minutes. Flip the meat and repeat. (12 minutes)
06
StepLeaving 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. (6 minutes)
07
StepTest the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer, inserting it into the thickest part of the meat. Continue cooking until the meat reaches your desired level of doneness (see note below). (5-10 minutes)
08
StepRemove the meat from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)
09
StepSlice the tri-tip thinly against the grain of the meat and serve immediately.
