This Grilled Tri-Tip with Onions and Peppers is super easy and so juicy and delicious. The marinade does all the work and gives it tons of flavor. The sweet onions and peppers are just an amazing addition and a great way to kick off the grilling season.
I love the smell of a Tri-Tip cooking on a hot charcoal grill, it is definitely the most popular cut of beef to grill around here lately. Tri Tips cook really fast on the grill. They are truly the most tender, when they are cooked to medium-rare, and sliced thinly against the grain.
It is very important to let the meat rest before slicing, so all the juices get the redistribute throughout the meat. Also, make sure you always cut thin slices of tri-tip against the grain to ensure the meat is tender.
This Tri tip is juicy and bursting with flavor, and is always a great reason to fire up the grill. Perfect for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend!
The peppers and onions are such a delicious accent to the Tri-Tip.
Using this Pre-seasoned Cast Iron Skillet makes it so easy to just cook your veggies right over the fire. Then use it to serve your tri-tip in.

Yes, this is a Good one
Sear for more close to 6/7 mins on eat side as I did 5 and it needed a tad more. Marinated for about 4 hours can imagine it so much better if I had time to give it more. Other than that recipe was great!
Cayenne pepper is what gives Cajun Cooking it's punch. For first timers a little goes a long way. It is nothing like Chili powder.
Cayenne powder is really hot. Chili powder is milder and mixed with other spices like garlic, cumin and oregano. Hope this helps Nicole 🙂
Is chili powder the same as cayenne pepper?
Absolutely, I usually always marinate it overnight. Let me know what you think Mark! 🙂
Can I marinate for longer than 8 hours.. Like overnight?
