marinated tri-tip appetizer

People rave about my husbands marinated tri-tip appetizer when they come to a party at our house. If you buy it already marinated it is super easy to make and deeeeelicious!

I love when meat has a nice char to it, so I throw this on the grill for about 45 minutes. Searing/charring the meat not only makes it look delicious but it also locks in the juices and flavor. Alternatively, you can throw it in the crock-pot for 1 hr on high  however I’m not a big fan of “boiled” meat. I like it to be nice and charred!

COOKING TIMES:

Please note that cooking times will vary depending on your grill AND the size of the cut of meat. This recipe was based on a 3.32 lb cut of meat. To be safe you can use a thermometer and check the internal temperature.

Rare: internal temp of 125 degrees

Medium Rare: internal temp of 135 degrees

Medium (this is how I like it!): internal temp of 140 degrees

PRO TIP: Don’t be impatient! Make sure to let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving! This locks in all the juices!

MAKE YOUR OWN RUB?

You can find the pre-marinated brands at Costco (shown below) or Trader Joe’s. While the pre-marinated is easier to just throw on the grill, sometimes I think they are a bit salty. To control the salt content (or to make sure its gluten-free), you will need to buy a non-marinated tri-tip (in the meat dept) and make your own rub. To do this, mix together a blend of paprika (1 tsp), chili powder 2 tsp), cayenne pepper (1/2 tsp), cumin (2 tsp), sugar (1 tsp), minced garlic (3 tsp), dried onion (1 tsp), salt (1 tsp), and pepper (1 tsp).  Lay the meat on a cutting board and coat the meat with the spices (just pat the meat with the spices until it is lightly covered). This will take a little bit of prep time BUT it will be worth it to create the exact flavor you want.

I like to serve this as an appetizer or on top of a salad! Click here to get my marinated tri-tip salad recipe!marinated tri tip in package
