Tri-Tip with Chipotle Rub

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Sprinkle tri-tip with salt. Massage Chipotle Rub into meat. Let steak sit at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate uncovered overnight. Bring to room temperature before grilling.

   Step 2

   Build a two-zone fire in a charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Cook 3-4 minutes per side over direct heat until nicely charred. Transfer to low-heat side (or lower gas grill heat to medium) and cook an additional 6-8 minutes per side or until an instant-read thermometer registers 120° for rare (steak will carry over to 125°, or medium-rare, as it rests).

   Step 3

   Transfer meat to a carving board; let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain.
