This Grilled Tri-tip with Avocado Chimichurri is the perfect summer grilling recipe. Tender, flavorful and easy to make.
I love chimichurri. It’s pretty much great on everything. Any time we have it in the house, I eat it for pretty much every meal. #noregrets
It’s especially great for summer time when most meals are being made on the grill because there’s nothing better than some grilled meat topped with chimichurri. In this case, I grilled some tritip and covered it in avocado chimichurri. Because the only thing that can make a great thing better is to add avocado. That’s my life philosophy and I’m stickin’ to it.
In other news, I can’t believe how quickly time is passing! It seems like summer just got here and I blinked and it’s almost August. It’s especially crazy because I leave for the World Championships In China at the end of this month. August in itself is going to be crazy, lots of events and traveling–the Avocado festival, beach camping, picking up our new trailer, Vegas and then China. I can’t wait but I’m also exhausted just thinking about it.
But I still have enough energy to make some tritip and chimmichurri. Tender beef with a good char on the outside, topped with a flavorful chimmichurri and chunks of creamy avocado? That’s your best summer life, right there.
So let’s get to it!
