Ingredients

  • pound tri-tip steak
  • 2 tablespoon Kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoon Chipotle Rub

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Sprinkle tri-tip with kosher salt. Massage Chipotle Rub into meat. Let steak sit at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate uncovered overnight. Bring to room temperature before grilling.

    60 min

  2. 2.

    Build a two-zone fire in a charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Cook 3-4 minutes per side over direct heat until nicely charred. Transfer to low-heat side (or lower gas grill heat to medium) and cook an additional 6-8 minutes per side or until an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F for rare (steak will carry over to 125°F, or medium-rare, as it rests).

    24 min

  3. 3.

    Transfer meat to a carving board; let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain.
