Elevate your grilling game with this tantalizing Blackberry and Onion Relish served over perfectly grilled tri-tip steak. This recipe combines the smoky, savory richness of tender tri-tip with the bold and sweet-tart flavors of a homemade relish made from fresh blackberries, caramelized onions, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar. The relish adds a vibrant, fruity contrast to the robust, garlic-scented beef, creating a dish thatβs both sophisticated and deeply satisfying. With just 15 minutes of prep time and a balance of bold ingredients, this recipe is ideal for special gatherings or an elevated weeknight dinner. Serve it alongside roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad for a meal thatβs as beautiful as it is delicious.
Prepare the tri-tip by seasoning it with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Rub the seasoning evenly over the surface of the steak.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, slice the yellow onion thinly and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the blackberries, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the relish for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly and the blackberries begin to break down. Season the relish with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.
While the relish is simmering, place the tri-tip on the preheated grill. Sear the steak for 5 minutes on each side for a nice crust.
Reduce the grill heat to medium and continue cooking the tri-tip for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until it reaches an internal temperature of 135Β°F (57Β°C) for medium-rare or your desired level of doneness.
Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
Serve the tri-tip topped with the warm blackberry and onion relish. Enjoy!
