In Praise of Tri-Tip

just ate this cut of beef for supper tonight. wow, this is some really good stuff. you might have to look for it, hard. wegman's has it, that's where i've gotten it before. i've also bought it at whole foods, but you might have to ask. if you like beef, please try this. comes anywhere from 1.5 to 2 lbs. will serve 4 people pretty well. put my dry rub on it last night, into the plastic bag for 24 hours, cooked it tonight. nice cabernet from washington state, columbia valley. great combo.

in a small, ie 1 tsp, of olive oil, in a hot 9" skillet, brown both sides, put in oven preheated to 375. for my taste - rare - took about another 15 minutes in the oven. get a meat thermometer. i took it out when it registered 135 to 140. let it sit for 5-10 minutes before you slice it, like a london broil, thin and on the bias. very lean and so good.
