My Experience with Tri Tip Strips Recipe Oven

I first tried making tri tip strips in the oven when I was living in a small apartment with no outdoor space for a grill. I was hesitant at first, thinking that oven-baked tri tip wouldn’t be as flavorful as grilled tri tip. But I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious and tender the strips turned out! Now, even though I have access to a grill, I still sometimes make tri tip strips in the oven because it’s just so easy and convenient.

Expert Tips

• Let the tri tip strips come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the strips – for medium-rare, aim for 135°F; for medium, aim for 145°F; for medium-well, aim for 150°F.
• Let the tri tip strips rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
