I fell in love with a tri-tip sometime around 2008.  My friend Dave grilled it in his backyard, way out in Tulsa Oklahoma.  Mind = blown.  Every time I make a delicious tri-tip, I dedicate the first bite to Dave. This lovely cut courtesy of International Meats, hands-down my favorite butcher in Astoria.

Also, hey Dave!  Hope this finds you happy, well, and with a belly full of meat.
