Tri-Trip Fajitas with Cilantro Lime Rice
While up in the Twin Cities I came across this Tri-Tip at Trader Joes.
Got it back home and decided to try a little tri-tip fajitas. Marinade was juice from 2 limes, 1 orange, some garlic, cumin, cilantro and fajita seasoning. Let it marinate for 3 hours then onto a 400 degree direct egg with little coals so the it was almost like a raised grate. Flipped every couple of minutes. Tri-Tip was coated with Penzy's Fajita seasoning.
Flipped
Flipped Again
Pulled at 126, then let it rest for 15 minutes.
Rested
Since I am trying to watch my glueten allergy I went with steak, veggies, cilantro lime rice (long grain brown rice cooked with a crushed up chicken boulin cube, then once done, stirred in 2 tbsp lime juice and 1 tbs cilantro, spicy refried beans with a tad bit of cheese.
Wife had hers in a flour tortilla shell with everything mixed together and said it was the closest thing to chiptole she has had in awhile. Definitly do this again next time I find a tri-tip.

Looks like a great meal and thanks for all the details. I've never cooked a tri tip but looks like I should add it to the list of steaks I've overcooked

I'm loving the tri tip.... Yum! I seen one the other day but didn't pick it up. Time to cook one up....

this is the EXACT same meal I served my Dad a couple months ago. Same Trader Joe's tri tip, even pulled at the same temperature. My old man still talks about it. Tri Tip is the bomb!

Tri Tip is the best my local butcher marinate them in a black nugget sauce. If grilled correctly it's better then Prime Rib
