The Art of Reverse Searing

Today, we are thrilled to share with you our mouth-watering reverse seared tri tip recipe by Heath Riles that is sure to elevate your grilling game.

What is Reverse Searing?

Reverse searing is a grilling technique that involves slow-cooking the meat at a low temperature, followed by a quick sear at high heat to lock in flavors and create a beautiful crust. This method ensures that the meat is uniformly cooked and retains its tenderness, resulting in a juicy and succulent tri tip steak.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tri tip steak, approximately 2 pounds
  • 1 tablespoon of Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon of onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon of paprika
  • 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon of rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill to 225°F (107°C) using indirect heat setup.
  2. Season the tri tip generously with Kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, and finely chopped rosemary.
  3. For added flavor, let the seasoned tri tip sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours, allowing the spices to penetrate the meat.
  4. Place the seasoned tri tip on the grill over indirect heat and close the lid.
  5. Cook the tri tip until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare or 135°F (57°C) for medium, using a meat thermometer to monitor the progress.
  6. Remove the tri tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  7. While the tri tip is resting, preheat your grill to high heat.
  8. Brush the rested tri tip with olive oil and sear it for 2-3 minutes per side until a beautiful crust forms.
  9. Transfer the tri tip to a cutting board and let it rest for another 5 minutes.
  10. Slice the tri tip against the grain and serve immediately.

Tips for the Perfect Reverse Seared Tri Tip:

  • Invest in a quality meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking temperatures.
  • Choose a tri tip with good marbling for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Letting the tri tip rest before and after the sear ensures juiciness and prevents the juices from spilling out.
  • Experiment with different spice rubs and marinades to find your preferred flavor profile.
  • Pair your reverse seared tri tip with your favorite sides, such as garlic mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal.
