Tri-tip Steak

Magic happens when Meyer lemon meets raw meat. Salt-cured citrus brings out beef’s natural flavors.  Enhances it. Makes it a better version of itself. 

Need

1.5 lb beef tri-tip steak

1.5 TBS If & When Bay Leaf Preserved Meyer Lemon Paste

Fresh ground pepper

Do

Combine paste and pepper.  Coat meat with a thin layer, not to excess.

Place meat in fridge for desired marinating time (we recommend 2+ hours in the fridge for strong flavor, but even 30 minutes will impact taste).

Remove meat from refrigerator and bring to room temperature on counter.

Preheat grill to medium-high.

Grill on each side to develop a dark brown crust (about 5 minutes on the first side, 8 minutes on the other).

Remove to indirect heat and continue cooking until the internal temperature is 130-135 degrees. We like 130 for medium rare.

Let the meat rest and redistribute the juices for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
