Prepare the grill: Prepare the grill for direct high heat. If you are using charcoal, use approximately 5 pounds of coals. Bank the coals so that more of them are on one side than the other, so that you have a high heat zone and a lower heat zone.

Place the tri-tip on the hot side of the grill. Leave the cover off and watch carefully for flare-ups.

As the meat browns, any fat will melt and drip on to the coals causing flare-ups. These are okay, as long as they don't get out of control.

Keep moving the tri-tip around the grill away from the flames if they get too high. Brown well on both sides.

Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Tri Tip Steak. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Flora Springs Napa Valley Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
