Cook Time: 1 hrs

Difficulty: Beginner

Reverse Sear may just be the steak's greatest achievement! You've got to try this tasty Chimichurri Tri-Tip on the X-Fire Pro.

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Chimichurri marinade by combining the first set of ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Step 2: Trim any excess fat off of the tri-tip, and marinate in 1/2 of the chimichurri. Allow to rest in the fridge 4-6 hours.
  • Step 3: Preheat X-Fire Pro on smoke mode to 225ºF. Add the tri-tip and insert a meat probe and cook until 110ºF internal temperature, about 45-60 minutes.
  • Step 4: Remove the tri tip and turn the X-Fire Pro to Grill mode on high, open the Adaptative Sear control wide open. Sear the tri-tip and baste in the additional chimichurri until an internal temperature of 133ºF degrees for medium rare or about 8-10 minutes.
  • Step 5: Allow the tri tip to rest for 10 minutes before slicing, serve with additional Chimichurri for maximum flavor.
  • Step 6: * If you don't have the time to smoke the tri-tip first, you can skip to step 4 and cook over high direct heat the entire time.
