Combine balsamic vinaigrette, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lime juice, and pepper in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Press out most of the air, seal the bag, and gently squeeze the bag to mix the ingredients.

Preheat an outdoor gas grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), following the manufacturer's recommendations, and make sure the grill grates are clean. Soak a paper towel with cooking oil, then use tongs to rub oil on the grate.

Place the tri-tip on the oiled grate, close the lid, and grill for 3 minutes. Using tongs or a meat fork, rotate the meat a quarter-turn, close the lid, and grill for another 3 minutes. Flip the meat and repeat.

Leave one burner on, turn off the burner on one side of the grill, and move the tri-tip to the unheated side. Close the lid and continue cooking for 5 or 6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat.

Check the interior temperature with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat. Continue cooking until the meat reaches the desired doneness; see the note at the bottom.
- 7
Remove the meat from the grill to a cutting board and tent it with foil. Let it rest for about 10 minutes, as residual heat will continue to cook the meat.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
