Scale
- 2.5 lbs (1134 g) tri-tip
- 1 cups (237 ml) red wine
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) worcestershire sauce
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp Badia complete spice blend
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 2 cups (473 ml) pineapple
- 1 cups (237 ml) mango
- 1 cups (237 ml) red bell pepper
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) sweet onion

Instructions
- For the Tri-tip:
- Trim excess fat from the tri-tip and place it in a zip-top bag with red wine and Worcestershire sauce. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, up to 24 hours.
- Remove the tri-tip from the marinade and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels, then rub with olive oil and Badia complete spices.
- Prepare the grill for indirect heat at 275°F (135°C).
- Place the tri-tip on the indirect heat side and cook for 15 minutes. Flip and cook for another 15 minutes.
- Once the internal temperature reaches 100°F (38°C), move the tri-tip to the direct heat side and sear for 2 minutes on each side.
- Once the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C), remove the tri-tip from the grill, cover, and let it rest for 10 minutes. The internal temperature will rise to 135°F (57°C) as it rests.
- For the Salsa:
- In a large mixing bowl, grate garlic and add honey, lime juice, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Chop pineapple, red bell pepper, mango, onion, and basil, and add them to the bowl.
- Stir to coat the fruit and vegetables with the dressing.
- Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving.
- To Serve:
- Slice the tri-tip into 1/4″ slices against the grain.
- Serve topped with a generous portion of salsa.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the tri-tip for the full 24 hours.
- If you don’t have Badia complete spice blend, use a combination of chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Store leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
