Texas-Style Grilled Tri-Tip

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Texas-Style Grilled Tri-Tip.

1. Step 1

   Place the tri-tip roasts in one or two gallon-sized zip-top bags or a large sealed container.

2. Step 2

   In a bowl, whisk together the dark lager, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, garlic salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

3. Step 3

   Pour the marinade over the tri-tips, seal the bags or container, and squeeze out as much air as possible. Refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight, flipping the bags halfway through.

4. Step 4

   Preheat your outdoor grill to 375°F (190°C) and lightly oil the grate. Arrange coals or mesquite wood on one side of the grill.

5. Step 5

   Remove the tri-tips from the marinade and place them directly over the coals or wood. Sear for 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

6. Step 6

   Move the tri-tips to the cooler side of the grill, cover, and continue grilling until they reach your desired doneness, about 45 minutes for medium-rare.

7. Step 7

   Once done, transfer the tri-tips to a cutting board, wrap them in foil, and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Unwrap and slice against the grain before serving.
