Ingredients

1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
-
1 tbsp. honey
-
1 tsp. salt
-
3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

1 Food Prep
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together your marinade ingredients.
Add your mixture to a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, then add your tri-tip steak.

2 Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets.
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 450°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
3 The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place your tri-tip on the grate and reserve the remaining marinade in the bag.
- Grill meat to desired doneness.The USDA recommends cooking steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F on a digital meat thermometer.
When ready, remove your tri-tip steak from the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes. In a small saucepan, bring your remaining marinade to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When your reduction sauce is ready, slice your tri-tip steak and top with sauce to serve.
