Tri-tip steak
2 servings
15 minutes
Tri-tip steak is a true embodiment of the art of meat preparation. This type of steak, popularized by California barbecues, is characterized by its rich meat flavor and juicy texture. Searing it in a hot pan with a fragrant mix of peppers and sea salt gives it a crispy crust, while the addition of mustard oil adds zest. In the end, the meat is sliced to reveal its tenderness and retained juiciness. Served with greens and pink Himalayan salt, this steak becomes an ideal treat for connoisseurs of rich meat flavors. It is perfect for both festive dinners and cozy home lunches.
