Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the tri-tip steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the tri-tip steak for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

  3. 5

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. After resting, slice against the grain into thin slices.
