Grilled Tri-Tip-Girls Gone Grillin’ Style

Grilled Tri-Tip-Girls Gone Grillin’ Style
Juicy, bold, and packed with flavor, this grilled tri-tip is a backyard classic that never disappoints.
Ingredients
- 1½–2 lb tri-tip roast
- Olive oil (enough to coat)
- Girls Gone Grillin’ SPG with a Kiss of Onion (generous coating)
- Optional: garlic butter or herb butter for finish
Instructions
Prep the Tri-Tip
Pat the tri-tip dry and lightly coat with olive oil. Season generously on all sides with SPG with a Kiss of Onion.
Pro tip: Let it sit at room temp for 30 minutes before grilling.
Preheat the Grill
Heat your grill to medium-high heat (400–450°F). Set up for two-zone cooking if possible.
Sear
Place tri-tip over direct heat and sear for 4–5 minutes per side until a nice crust forms.
Finish Cooking
Move to indirect heat, close the lid, and cook until internal temp reaches:
125–130°F for medium-rare
135°F for medium
Rest & Slice
Remove from grill and rest 10- 20 minutes. Slice against the grain (this is key for tenderness).
Serve
Finish with a pat of garlic or herb butter if desired and serve with grilled veggies, potatoes, or a fresh salad
Girls Gone Grillin’ Tips
Tri-tip has two grain directions—rotate your knife halfway through slicing.
Leftovers make incredible steak sandwiches, tacos, or salads.
Add chimichurri or a horseradish cream for next-level flavor.
