The longer this one simmers, the more those flavors come together. This simple chili recipe is really good and considering it has chunks of tri-tip in it, definitely doesn’t hurt.

  7. Meanwhile, place tri-tip on the grill directly above the flame for 5-10 minutes on each side to sear the meat.
  8. Move tri-tip to indirect heat and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 130°F. 
  9. Let tri-tip rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2" cubes.

  11. Serve with your choice of toppings. Enjoy!
