Funny you say that. The first time I ever had tri-tip was when I was a student in Santa Barbara. Had never even heard of it before then. Since that time, it has been my #1 choice for grilling. Just wish I could still get abalone steaks like we used to in SB. Abalone and tri-tip on the grill together can’t be beat.
Abalone makes lobster seem like shrimp.
So damn good.
