Budget: $10

Tri-Tip Roast
Garlic
Sea Salt
Pepper
Butter

 

Ok this is by far my favorite steak, not because its the best but because its the second best if cooked properly and a tenth of the cost.

Were going to start by salting the meat, take the entire roast as is out of the package and trim off any excess fat then apply a very generous/even amount of sea salt or kosher salt to the entire roast, place in a glass container, loosely cover, and leave it in the fridge for a couple hours.

You will see a puddle of juices collect.  This is because of a process called osmosis that moves water from inside the cells to outside.  But an interesting thing will happen if you wait a bit longer.  The osmotic effect will reverse as the salt becomes diluted, and the liquid starts to be absorbed again.  This reversal will start in about 20 or 30 minutes.  While not all of the juices will be reabsorbed, in effect what you get is a quick brining that penetrates the outer surface of the meat and leaves it nice and tender.

Pull it out and wash off the excess salt then pat dry and get the grill super hot, make sure the meat is drybecause we dont want to steam it we want to grill it.

Just a reminder, we haven’t cut the meat yet, were going to cut it later after its been cooked, this meat is naturally tough and we need all the tender tricks we can get.

OK here we go, sprinkle  pepper and garlic powder generously and toss it on the grill.

Grill each side for around 10 – 15 minutes depending on how you like it, remember this roast is about 2.5 inches so it takes a bit longer.

·         Rare – 120 degrees F

·         Medium Rare – 125 degrees F

·         Medium – 130 degrees F

After your done grilling it let it sit for about 10 minutes so that the juices settle and level out. Drop a dollop of butter on top then cut against the grain into 1 inch steaks and serve up!
