Tri-Tip Tacos

Beef
Tacos, Main Dish

Serves 4

Tri-tip is a great cut to have in the freezer, and few cuts of beef are better on the grill. Here, it’s marinated, grilled, and sliced thinly for tacos.

Ingredients #

  • The Beef: #

    • 1 tri-tip roast

  • For Marinade: #

    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 4 tbsp lime juice
    • 2 tsp cumin
    • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    • 2 tsp onion powder
    • 2 tsp chili powder
    • 2 tsp paprika
    • 1 tsp oregano
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 2 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp black pepper

  • For Tacos: #

    • Corn or flour tortillas
    • Fresh salsa, and/or pico de gallo, as you like

Instructions #

Make the marinade: #

Combine all marinade ingredients in a resealable plastic bag. Cut the tri-tip in half, and place in the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 4-8 hours.

For the tacos: #

Grill the marinated tri-tip until done to your liking (you definitely want it at least a bit pink — “well-done” will be miserable) and set aside, lightly covered, to rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.

Serve with warm tortillas and whatever salsa or other condiments you prefer.
