We feed a big crowd every day. Even if our teenagers are off living their best lives, there's still five of us here that still need to eat every day, and when I'm tired of pasta or stir fry, and nice beef option is always a hit. I love tri-tip because one roast can feed 3-4 people, easily, and it is so delicious when you throw it on the grill.
What you do with your cooked tri-tip is up to you! It makes a great steak sandwich, for example.
