Make the marinade. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a zip-top bag or a non-reactive glass bowl. Place the steak in the marinade, and massage or toss the steak to ensure it is evenly coated on all sides.
¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup red wine, 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar, 4 cloves garlic, 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, 1 Tablespoon Hey Grill Hey Beef Rub, 4 tri tip steak
Marinate the steaks. Place the bag or container of marinating steak in the refrigerator and allow the steak to marinate for 4-8 hours, or overnight.
Preheat. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 450 degrees F) for two-zone cooking, with one high heat side, and one side with little to no heat.
Sear. Remove your steaks from the grill and carefully shake off any excess marinade or large pieces of herbs. Place the steaks on the high-heat side of the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, leaving the lid open.
Finish grilling. Once both sides have a nice sear, move the steaks to the low-heat side of the grill, close the lid, and cook to your desired doneness. 120-125 degrees F for rare, 130-135 for medium rare, 140-145 for medium, 150-155 for medium well, and 160-165 for well done. The time on this step varies by your desired doneness, but a medium rare steak should reach temperature in about 6-8 minutes.
Rest and serve. Remove the steaks to a cutting board and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
