Grilled Chimichurri Tri-tip

Grilled Chimichurri Tri-tip by car2ngrl

Here's a quick, easy, and flavorful way to prepare tri-tip that's so good you'll -- DAMN THE DIET -- eat the charred fat because it's covered with the delicious rub.

Ingredients

  • about 3 lb beef tri-tip*
  • olive oil
  • DRY RUB:
  • 3 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 3 tablespoons dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried savory
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
  • *untrimmed, preferably
6-8 servings

Directions

Lightly oil the cooking grate on your grill. Preheat grill and prepare for indirect grilling.

Mix all dry rub ingredients.

Coat tri-tip with olive oil then cover the meat with the rub. I also made cuts in the meat so I would have more surface area for the rub but that technique is optional.

Let sit for 10 minutes.

Place tri-tip on grill -- fat side up.

Cook on the grill over low, indirect heat. Flip after about 30 minutes. It should be cooked in about 1 hour or until it reaches your desired doneness.

Remove from grill and tent with foil. Allow meat to rest for about 10 minutes.

Slice and serve.

about 1-1/2 hours
