Sunday dinner: grilled tri-tip

[DBWallis]

We found another tri-tip (a pretty rare find in the Chicago area), and grilled it up for Sunday dinner. It was about 3 pounds, if I recall correctly.

We went with a traditional California Santa Maria preparation (dry rub with salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, onion, oregano, rosemary and sage), and slow roasted on the gasser at about 260 for a little over an hour. I pulled the meat at 130 internal, and it rested for about 15 minutes. We served this with a sweet potato and beet galette with thyme and goat cheese:

The roast came out a perfect med-rare, and the galette was very yummy too!

I got a lead to a local-ish butcher shop (there are no meat-only butcher shops anywhere nearby) that's in the opposite direction we usually take for shopping, so we'll probably check that out in the near future.

Thanks Cliff. Here's the recipe that we used: Sweet Potato and Beet Galette with Gorgonzola Cheese and Thyme. I don't like bleu cheese, so we subbed goat cheese. It's also really good with feta.
