    What to Serve with Tri-Tip Steak

    Jump to Recipe

    If you are trying to figure out what to serve with tri-tip steak for dinner, this list is exactly what you are looking for. This cut of beef is a great steak for grilling, broiling, oven-roasting, or cooking in sous vide. The classic tri-tip roast is lean, tender, and great for slicing to enjoy as a main course. Tri-tip sandwiches are also amazing on a hearty roll. No matter how you enjoy your tri-tip, all these recipes go well as a side dish.

    Whether you want a salad, vegetables, or potato, we have you covered with so many choices on what to enjoy with beef. All of these sides pair well with a seasoned, marinated, or grilled tri-tip beef roast. One of my favorites is crispy air fryer green beans but you cannot go wrong with any of these recipes.

    Best Tri-Tip Steak Recipe

    You may have your favorite way to cook tri-tip already, but if not, I always recommend a simple & easy recipe. I love to marinade and grill tri-tip for an amazing meal, especially in the summer months. If you have ever wondered how best to grill steaks, make sure you know GRILLING WHEN TO COOK WITH THE LID ON OR OFF. And my Keto Steak Marinade cannot be beaten for adding bold flavors and tenderizing that meat even more.

    And for the most tender grass-fed/grass-finished tri-tip roasts, I cannot recommend BUTCHER BOX enough. I have been using this service for a long time now and the entire family loves it. The healthier option of grass-fed beef and the quality of the cuts of meat is amazing. They are always running a deal for new customers so check out the latest and greatest. I have the ground beef for life deal & LOVE IT!

      I am always stumped on side dishes. I wanted something not boring so found these recipes by googling it up. I ended up making 2 and yes it was a hit. Both were. Creamed spinach and onion rings (kid thumbs up).
