Grilled Tri Tip with Chimichuri Sauce

Tri tip is a great cut of meat that's ideal for the grill. When cooked properly the meat will have a nice char on the outside and the inside a perfect medium rare. Serve with home made chimichuri sauce for an awesome meal. The key to the chimichuri sauce is to use white balsamic vinegar, this makes the chimichuri sauce light and bright.  

Ingredients:

1 Tri Tip roast

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup packed Italian parsley

1 large garlic clove

Pinch red pepper flakes

1/4 cup olive oil or more to reach the right consistency

Salt and pepper to taste

 

 

Preparation:

Liberally apply salt and pepper to both sides of the meat. Brush on a layer of olive oil and place on a very hot grill. Cook for 2 minutes on each side and reduce the heat to medium. The Tri Tip will take about 20 - 25 minutes to medium rare which is 130 degrees. Place on a cutting board covered in foil for 5 minutes, slice and serve with chimichuri sauce.

 

Combine all ingredients into a small food processer and pulse until everything is blended. Don't  over process or you'll end up with chimichuri mayonnaise.
