1
Prepare the Tri-Tip
Remove the tri-tip steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
2
Season the Steak
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this seasoning mix all over the tri-tip steak.
3
Grill the Steak
Place the seasoned tri-tip on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
4
Add Cheese
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, place slices of pepper jack cheese on top of the steak. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
5
Let it Rest
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
6
Serve with Chimichurri
Slice the tri-tip against the grain and serve with chimichurri sauce drizzled on top or on the side.
