Questions about Tri-tip steak
What cut of beef is tri-tip steak?
It comes from the triangular tri-tip muscle at the bottom of the sirloin. The muscle’s grain changes direction, so look for that change before slicing.
How do you cook tri-tip steak on the barbecue?
Pat it dry, season it, then grill over high heat, turning every few minutes. For a steak about 2.5 cm thick, start checking after roughly 8 minutes; use a thermometer and rest it for at least 3 minutes once the centre reaches 63 °C.
How should you slice tri-tip steak so it is tender?
Rest it for 5–10 minutes, then cut thinly across the grain. As the grain changes direction part-way along the cut, turn the steak and slice the second section across its grain too.
What seasoning goes well with tri-tip steak?
A classic Santa Maria-style seasoning is salt, black pepper and garlic; some versions add dried herbs. Serve the grilled steak with salsa, beans or a green salad.
Can you use another steak instead of tri-tip?
Top sirloin steak is a practical substitute for grilling and slicing. It has 243 kcal and 14.2 g fat per 100 g, compared with 265 kcal and 15 g fat in tri-tip steak.
How long does tri-tip steak keep in the fridge?
Keep raw steak covered in the coldest part of the fridge and cook it within 3–5 days of purchase. Refrigerate cooked leftovers within 2 hours and use them within 3–4 days, or freeze them.
How much tri-tip steak is a typical portion?
A portion of about 85 g provides 25 g protein and 225 kcal.
