Use the slow cooker’s "Low" setting to cook your tri-tip steak for 6-8 hours. The slow cooking method tenderizes the meat, allowing it to absorb all the seasonings and become melt-in-your-mouth tender. Finish with a quick sear in a hot pan for a crispy crust.
Use the Instant Pot’s "Saute" function to brown the tri-tip on all sides, then switch to "Pressure Cook" for 30-35 minutes. This allows the meat to stay juicy while infusing it with rich flavors, making it tender and flavorful in less than an hour.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F, then season your tri-tip steak and place it in the basket. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for an evenly cooked, juicy steak with a perfectly crisp exterior. Let it rest before slicing to retain its juices.
Choosing the right cut of Tri-Tip is crucial to making a tender and flavorful steak. Look for a Tri-Tip that is well-marbled with fat and has a deep red color. The steak should be at least one-inch thick to prevent overcooking and drying out during the cooking process.
Prepping the Tri-Tip correctly is crucial to achieving a great flavor. Seasoning the steak with salt and pepper, or a dry rub, at least an hour before cooking, helps the flavors penetrate the meat while also tenderizing it.
Cooking Tri-Tip can be challenging as it's a thick steak that requires an even cook throughout the steak. Grilling, roasting, or smoking are popular methods of cooking Tri-Tip. It's essential to cook Tri-Tip to an internal temperature that is safe to eat while still being juicy and flavorful. A meat thermometer should be used to determine the steak's internal temperature. Allow the meat to rest for ten minutes after cooking to redistribute the juices and ensure the best flavor
Slicing Tri-Tip steak can be challenging, as it's an irregularly shaped cut of meat. It's essential to slice against the grain, cutting the meat into thin slices. This method helps to break down the fibers and make the steak tender.
Serving Tri-Tip Steak can be a challenge as it's a large cut of meat that needs suitable accompaniments. Serve with a flavorful sauce or chimichurri to complement the steak. Sides such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes, and a salad can make a delicious meal.
