  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pound tri-tip steak, cut in half lengthwise

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Combine oil, lime juice, cumin, Worcestershire, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Place tri-tip pieces into a resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over meat, seal bag, and massage marinade into meat. Refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.

  4. 4

    Preheat grill. Remove meat from bag and place onto grill. Discard marinade.

  5. 5

    Cook tri-tip for 20 minutes, turning occasionally.

  6. 6

    During last half of cooking, wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and add to grill. Turn over a few times while tri-tip is cooking. Once beef has reached desired doneness, remove both steak and tortillas from grill. Rest meat for 5 minutes before carving.

  7. 7

    After resting, transfer steak to a cutting board. Thinly slice steak on the bias (against the grain).

  8. 8

    To assemble tacos, simply add a few slices of grilled tri-tip to a tortilla. Top each taco with guacamole, pico de gallo, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Fold the tortillas and enjoy. Serve with your favorite sides.
