If you’ve never had tri tip, you’re missing out. This cut of beef is becoming popular in our house. Cook it on a wood fired grill or a gas burner with a smoke box. Cooked medium-rare to medium, a tri tip roast tastes great on its own, with garlic-chive butter, or this basil chimichurri. This cut of meat is fairly lean, so don’t over cook it. Do yourself a favor and grill one tonight.

Grilled tri tip

Grilled trip tip is climbing up my list of best cuts of beef. Marinate it, top with chimichurri, or serve with au jus.
