I've had bad experiences with tritip in the past. Not making them, but eating them -- tough, chewy and devoid of taste so I never attempted making one. After reading all the posts here I decided to try one. Picked up a pair at Costco, cut them both in half at the split. Cooked on the grill to a bit more medium on the medium rare side then I would have preferred, it was a big hit.
I've now found a new and great piece of beef that will now be a regular around this house.
I used my everyday cook everything with it concoction: put the meat on a platter and pour a generous amount of light, not lite, soy sauce on followed with about 1 tbs dark sesame oil. Follow with generous dousing of kosher salt, pepper, onion & garlic powder then smother with paprika. Let this sit while the grill heats up.
I used the finger poke method to test for doneness but since I never grilled anything this large I was thrown off a bit. Fortunately, I gave it a stab with the instant read. Came back at about 130 so I pulled it off for a rest. Got worried when there was no blood in the juices but it the flavor was fantastic.
I owe this success to you folks. This is an outstanding site. Many thanks to all of you.
