Cook Tri-Tip
Season the tri-tip steak with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tri-tip for about 4-5 minutes per side until nicely browned, then reduce heat and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly.
