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. No matter how you enjoy your tri-tip, all these recipes go well as a side dish.
All of these sides pair well with a seasoned, marinated, or grilled tri-tip beef roast. 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. One of my favorites is crispy air fryer green beans but you cannot go wrong with any of these recipes.

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.

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).
