If you’re in the mood for a simple, hearty BBQ, you’ll love my Wagyu Reverse Seared Tri Tip Recipe. This dish doesn’t call for much; the Wagyu speaks for itself. All you need is a light sprinkle of two of my best-selling rubs, and you have a winning dinner!
Reverse seared may sound fancy, but it’s as simple as searing the steak at the end of the cooking process. This seals in moisture and gives the Wagyu a brilliant crust. I love reverse searing, and I know it’ll be one of your favorite methods.
This may be one of the most straightforward Wagyu recipes you’ll ever see. As I always say, there is no need to fix what ain’t broken! This would be an excellent recipe for novice grillmasters to try out. Easy, tasty, and impressive. A total win in my book. One of the best decisions you can make is to treat yourself to a Wagyu steak. With my foolproof cooking method, you’ll get great results every time.
My Wagyu Reverse Seared Tri Tip requires three simple yet effective ingredients. You won’t use your entire bottle of rub, so save the rest for another fabulous recipe. Here’s what you need to add to your shopping cart.
Here’s the main setup I used for this cook. You can find more of my grilling must-haves in the equipment and tools section.
You can find a detailed demonstration for this cook in the recipe card and video at the bottom of the post. For now, enjoy this quick rundown of how I cooked my Wagyu Reverse Seared Tri-Tip.
The steak was cooked medium-rare and had the ultimate crust. The beef melted in my mouth and was dripping with moisture. Every bite was filled with the perfect amount of seasoning. The citrus on the back end was the cherry on top!
I served this steak with a homemade horseradish sauce and created the world’s best French dip sandwich. You can also serve it with crusty bread and a side salad.
If you have leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge for up to four days. You can also freeze any extras for up to six months.
Cast-iron cooker, Royal Oak Charcoal , cutting board, sheet pan, instant-read meat thermometer, and insulated gloves for handling meat.
