Tri-tip a la barbacoa

Ingredientes

• 1 tri tip, excess fat trimmed
• French's yellow mustard
• Kosher salt

Preparación

1. 1

   Select a respectable tri tip and trim off any excess fat.

2. 2

   Apply a generous coat of mustard. No need to go with a boutique brand here. French's works the best. You can do this in a bowl or a plastic bag.

3. 3

   Shower the tri tip liberally with kosher salt.

4. 4

   Preheat your grill, then cook the tri tip directly over medium heat to desired doneness. Medium would be an internal temperature around 150-165°F. TR goes by feel; when the tri tip feels firm, it's done. I can't explain the "feel" in words, but you'll get the hang of it after grilling a few tri tips. And yes, I know this recipe is technically "grilled tri tip" and not "BBQ tri tip," but nobody ever says "grilled tri tip."

5. 5

   Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice, enjoy, and take a bow. If you're looking for a good condiment for this tri tip, try my pico de gallo recipe.
