I like tri-tip but whenever I have it out it seems like it's tough. Was this one tough or tender?
Tri-tip belong in the crockpot you can't grill that to my knowledge or it's like chewing on a leather shoe.

Yeah at the restaurant I'm not sure how they do it but It seems like it's always tough so it's probably grilled or charboiled. We did carne asada in the crock-pot a few weeks ago and that was super tender, I really enjoyed that! Usually when we do it on the grill it's tough as well

👍🍺

You don’t “grill” a tri-tip - treat it like a big roast. I like to rub it & let it sit on the counter for an hour or two, indirect heat, meat thermometer to ‘rare’ 135-140 degrees or so, and let it sit wrapped up in foil for 5-10 minutes before you cut into it…..

I'll try that next time I'm in the mood for one. Thanks!
