00:02 A tri-tip steak is a budget-friendly cut of meat

00:06 that has a beefy, juicy, and delicious flavor.

00:10 It also cooks fast,

00:11 so you'll have your meal on the table in no time.

00:14 Here are two easy methods for cooking tri-tip steaks.

00:17 Grilling is a great way to impart

00:21 that flavorful char we all love.

00:23 Start by marinating the tri-tip steaks

00:25 for at least two to three hours beforehand,

00:28 which will keep them moist during grilling.

00:30 Grill the marinated steaks over medium heat

00:33 on a charcoal or gas grill.

00:35 You'll want to rotate the steak,

00:37 then flip it over to get those nice grill marks.

00:40 Based on the thickness,

00:41 grilling a tri-tip takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

00:45 If your steak is really thick,

00:46 give it an extra minute or two.

00:48 But if you cook it too long, it could become tough.

00:52 If you don't wanna fire up your grill,

00:55 skillet cooking is a great option.

00:58 First, liberally season the steaks.

01:00 You can use a spice rub, herb blend,

01:03 or just salt and pepper.

01:05 Preheat a heavy skillet, like cast iron,

01:08 over medium-high heat, and then drizzle in some oil.

01:11 Now add the steaks to the ripping hot pan

01:15 to get that nice sizzle.

01:17 Once you get that edge-to-edge sear,

01:19 reduce the heat and continue cooking the steaks

01:21 until the outside is caramelized and the inside is juicy.

01:25 Turn them occasionally and cook them uncovered

01:28 anywhere from six to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness.

01:32 Whether you choose the skillet method or the grill,

01:34 let your steaks rest a moment so the juices don't escape,

01:37 then slice against the grain.

01:40 There you have it, two easy methods

01:42 for cooking tri-tip steak, grilling and skillet cooking.

01:46 Experiment with toppings

01:48 and enjoy this tender and flavorful steak.
