Main
This Coffee Marinated Tri-Tip is a simple way to add bold, rich flavor to your next cook. The marinade combines coffee with savory ingredients to help tenderize the meat while building a deep, balanced flavor. Cooked low and slow, then finished with a high-heat sear on the Masterbuilt Gravity Series®.
Instructions
-
01
In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and mix well.
-
03
Gently press out as much air as possible before sealing the bag to ensure the meat stays fully in contact with the marinade.
-
04
Refrigerate for 4–6 hours or overnight to allow the tri-tip to absorb all the flavors. For best results, turn the bag occasionally so the marinade evenly coats the meat.
-
02
Place the tri-tip in a large freezer bag and pour the marinade over the meat, making sure it’s evenly coated.
-
05
Remove the tri-tip from the marinade and discard any remaining liquid.
-
06
Pat the meat dry with paper towels to help achieve a better sear.
-
07
Season both sides evenly with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adding granulated garlic if desired for extra flavor.
-
08
Preheat your Masterbuilt Gravity Series® grill to 160–225°F for low and slow cooking.
-
09
Place the tri-tip on the middle rack, positioning it for even airflow and consistent smoke.
-
10
Cook for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 105–110°F, preparing it for the next step.
-
11
Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest briefly while increasing the heat of your Masterbuilt Gravity Series® grill to 600–700°F.
-
12
Once hot, place the tri-tip on the bottom grate and sear for about 2 minutes per side, rotating halfway through each side to create a nice crust.
-
13
Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 123–125°F for medium-rare.
-
14
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5–7 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve.
