Savoring the Flavors of Argentina

A Taste of Tradition

In Argentina, beef is a staple of the cuisine, and when it’s cooked outdoors, it’s always done over wood to infuse the meat with a deep, smoky flavor. We’re bringing a taste of this tradition to your backyard with our grilled tri-tip recipe.

The Perfect Cut

We’re using a thick tri-tip cut, which is ideal for grilling. After a quick marinade, we’ll grill it over direct heat to create a nice brown crust on the outside while keeping the inside pink and juicy.

Infusing Flavor

To achieve that authentic Argentine flavor, look for grass-fed beef, which is the traditional way of raising cattle in Argentina. You’ll also need some special equipment, including lump charcoal, a chimney starter, and an instant-read thermometer.

Getting Started

Before you begin, make sure to prepare our Argentine Chimichurri Sauce. This tangy and herby sauce is the perfect accompaniment to our grilled tri-tip.

Grilling Like a Pro

To grill like a pro, follow these simple steps:

• Prepare your marinade by combining olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
• Pat the tri-tip dry with paper towels and rub it with salt, pepper, and the reserved marinade.
• Let the tri-tip sit at room temperature while you prepare the grill.
• Fill a medium-sized chimney starter with lump charcoal and light it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Once the coals are red and ashy, place the tri-tip on the grill and cook for 5 minutes.
• Rotate the tri-tip 90 degrees and continue grilling until it reaches an internal temperature of 125°F for medium rare.

Serving Suggestions

Once the tri-tip is cooked to perfection, transfer it to a cutting board, tent it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice it against the grain and serve it with a generous helping of Argentine Chimichurri Sauce.

Wine Pairing

For a truly Argentine experience, pair your grilled tri-tip with a glass of Monteviejo Festivo Malbec. This wine, with its strong blackberry fruits and spicy notes, stands up nicely to the intense flavors of the dish.
