2-2 1/2-lb. tri-tip steak (about 2' thick)

Kosher salt

Chipotle Rub

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle tri-tip with salt. Therapeutic massage Chipotle Rub into meat. Let steak sit at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate uncovered in a single day. Deliver to room temperature earlier than grilling.

Step 2

Construct a two-zone hearth in a charcoal grill, or preheat a gasoline grill to medium-high. Prepare dinner 3-4 minutes per facet over direct warmth till properly charred. Switch to low-heat facet (or decrease gasoline grill warmth to medium) and prepare dinner a further 6-8 minutes per facet or till an instant-read thermometer registers 120° for uncommon (steak will carry over to 125°, or medium-rare, because it rests).

Step 3

Switch meat to a carving board; let relaxation for 10 minutes. Thinly slice towards the grain.
