Strips. Tri-tip strips cook to rare in about 8 to 10 minutes, and to medium in 12 to 14 minutes. This is the total cooking time, so turn the strips over at the halfway point -- 4 to 5 minutes on each side for rare, and 6 to 7 minutes on each side for medium.Calman Lugo/iStock/Getty Images.trips.

Grill your tri-tip, turning it occasionally with grilling tongs, until it is medium-rare---about 35 to 40 minutes. The tri-tip's internal temperature should be 135 degrees F when you cook it, which is just below medium-rare. Remove the tri-tip from the grill onto a platter. Let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.During this time, the tri-tip's internal temperature will continue to rise 5 to 10 degrees F, cooking it to medium-rare.Thinly slice the meat against the grain and serve it while it's still hot. If you'd rather grill the tri-tip as steaks, cut the marinated tri-tip into steaks, 1-inch thick. 2  Grill the steaks over indirect heat until they are medium-rare, about 8 minutes. 3  Flip the steaks halfway through the cook time.
