Recipe For Grilled Tri Tip Sirloin Beef Steak

Grilled Tri Tip Sirloin Beef Steak

I love steaks. I’m a total carnivore, but I don’t get to eat them that often because there are so many vegetarians in my house. Whenever we cook steaks at home, it’s a special occasion (for me ).

I chose a tri tip sirloin steak because the meat is tender and very lean. There isn’t a lot of fat on it for those of you who are health conscious (though red meat isn’t that healthy to begin with – everything in moderation!).  It’s also fairly cheap compared to other cuts, such as rib-eye. I grill it, then slice it thin and serve it with a salad. I love it.

3. Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, mushroom seasoning salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, lemon juice, a little drizzle of oil, chiles, garlic and ginger garlic paste together. Place the 4 pieces of meat in a sealable plastic bag. Add the marinade,seal and chill for about 30-45 minutes. 
  3. With a brush, grease a cast iron skillet grill or a regular frying pan would work but you won’t get the nice grill marks, heat until it’s really hot, almost at the smoking point. Place the beef on high heat for 1-2 minutes using tongs. Do NOT pierce the meat with a fork! Turn the meat 45° if you want to create a fancy criss-cross grill mark. Grill for another 1-2 minutes. Flip the meat on the other side. Grill for 2-3 minutes. Pour the rest of the soy sauce marinade over the beef. Immediately transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the beef for about 3-4 minutes (or 6 minutes if you like it well done), depending on how pink you like your meat. It’s important that you do not pierce the meat so it stays moist and tender.
  4. Remove the pan from the oven. Transfer the beef to a platter. Cover with a piece of aluminum foil. Let the meat sit for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. Thinly slice the steak cross-wise and serve immediately.
  6. Serve with a gratin dauphinois or some greens.
  7. Bon appétit!
