Cooking Tri tip:
Season with salt and pepper overnight
Start charcoal grill and pile on one side creating a HOT spot.
Place tri tip on hot spot, as the meat caramelizes keep turning until there is an even caramelization.

Pull meat off once it reaches 125 degrees F internal temp.
Allow to rest for 30 minutes
Make sure to slice AGAINST grain as thin as possible
