I love grilled steak in the summer and this recipe with fresh, herbaceous chimichurri sauce is a great way to change it up.
Technique tip: Start your grill off on high to get a nice char, then back the temperature down to low.
Swap option: This works great with any steak cut, as well as with pork tenderloin or pork chops.

Preheat your grill to high. Using a wire brush, clean your grill and allow to get as hot as possible. Once grill is heated, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the grill grates. (TODAY’s preferred method for oiling the grill is to use tongs to rub a paper towel saturated with oil over the grates). Evenly coat the steak with the tri-tip rub. Place the seasoned tri-tip on the hottest part of grill and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and place onto a new hot place on the grill to ensure you are cooking on the hottest spot possible. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to flip every 3 minutes until the internal temperature of the steak is 120°F. Remove the steak from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes. The internal temperature will continue to rise to anywhere between 125°F-130°F, for a medium-rare steak. Slice and serve with the chimichurri sauce poured over the top of the steak.
