Tri-Tip

My Favorite meet to cook is tri-tip! It's easy to cook and tastes amazing! I buy most of my meat at Costco, because it's good quality and it's USDA grade! Not to mention it's priced great! 

I marinade my tri-tip in oyster sauce over night. It gives it a great flavor, and makes it very tender and moist! If you're not a fan is seafood, don't worry, it doesn't have a fish taste at all! 

Now it's time to cook! Set your grill at 180, or the smoke setting, and cook the meat until it hits about 115-125 degrees internal temp.

Now it's time to give this beautiful piece of meat a nice reverse sear. You can do this one of two ways. I have done it both.

1) Remove the meat from the grill and crank the grill on high and get it as hot as you can. I like to throw on a cast iron pan with some oil in it and let it get as hot as possible. Then put your trip-tip back on the grill or in the cast iron for about 5 minutes per side or until it hits your desired internal temp. You should have nice sear on the outside of the meat. 

2) Another way you can finish it off with the sear is to set the oven on broil high and then cook it for about 5 minutes per side or until it hits your desired internal temp. 

Make sure you let the meat rest for at least 20 minutes. The next step is where most people make the biggest mistake. Make sure you cut against the grain when slicing! This will help keep all the juice in and make the meat more flavorful. 

Enjoy!
