Roasted Garlic Tri Tip

Don Marco · Jan 24, 2010

Howdy...

Somehow i had a craving for one of those nice Tri Tips in my freezer that made their way over the pond from the US.

Since i dont like to overpower a good meats flavour i just used some roasted garlic, EVOO and fleur de sel as seasoning and grilled the Tri Tip on the small Big Green Egg with some Olive Wood.

Heres a pic after letting it rest for 10 Minutes. Those 10 Minutes were propably the longest of my life as the smell was killing me !

Okay, here we go !

Served it with a nice salad with parmesan and cream cheese stuffed cherry peppers. Good eats !

The flavour and tenderness again was sooo much better than the beef we got over here. Awesome stuff !

So long !

Nicely done, Don. Meat cooked perfectly IMO and great photos as well.:eusa_clap

How did meat make it across the pond and through customs? Thought you could not mail foodstuffs of that nature??

Theres wholesalers that import the meat over here. Usually its really expensive but a friend of became friends with one of them so...

One of our team sponsors is a family from argentina who also import prime beef from argentina ( and charcoal, wine and seasonings besides that) so im settled with good beef ad a good price. The US Beef is something different though, especially with the flavours from the fat.

Over here the domestic beef is grown pretty lean and nobody really ages the meat. Customers generally are so stupid that they even ask for the freshest beef. :-?

That looks great. I'm a big fan of roasted garlic and rosemary (which I think I see in there).

I roast a couple of garlic heads about every week. Just cut the top off, wrap halfway in foil and add some EVOO, salt and Pepper.
Then i usually put it on the egg while it cools after cooking.
After about an hour the garlic is soft and can easily pushed out.

That stuff is good for a million uses ( put on bread with some EVOO and roast that) and holds about a week in the fridge.

The salt i used is a sea salt mix from france that comes mixed with some rosemary. Excellent stuff for Beef or Lamb.

DM, I was stationed in Darmstadt back in the mid 90's and my next door neighbor (I lived off post) was a retired butcher and we discussed the beef I would get from the PX and what he was used to. He told me the US beef is grain/corn fed mostly and the fat is white and marbling is better, Europe is mostly grass/natural fed and the fat is grey/off-white and leaner and that changes the flavor.

Almost forgot............good looking tri-tip!!!

I marinate mine with a 1/1 mix of Chaka's and Jack Daniels for 24-48 hrs.
