INSTRUCTIONS
The guy who owns the Red Oak BBQ-B-Q Company in Santa Fe Springs, CA was grilling this meat as a demonstration at the 1997 California BBQ Championships and he told me how to do it. Take a 2-3 lb. tri-tip roast and trim off the fat. Cut the meat into chunks the size of a small woman's fist and rub with a mixture of salt, black pepper and garlic powder, in a 40:40:20 ratio. Let the meat sit in the refrigerator, in a plastic bag, for at least 4 hours. He grilled the meat over medium-hot mesquite coals. He was turning the chunks of meat constantly, moving them all around the grill. He pulled them off when the inside was medium-rare and the outside was well-done. Grilling time was about 20 minutes. This is a pretty tender piece of meat, so it doesn't need long cooking. He chopped the chunks into bite-sized pieces and served it covered with salsa fresca. Fresh salsa is a must--don't use the bottled stuff. Make your own or you can usually buy it in the deli section of most supermarkets, at least out West. See recipe for "Bill's Salsa Fresca".
