Ingredients
- For the tri-tip:
-
3/4
cup salt, divided -
1
tablespoon ground black pepper -
1
teaspoon Spanish pimentón de la Vera(红椒粉) or piment d’Esplette -
one
2- to 3-pound tri-tip
- For the chimichurri(阿根廷青酱):
-
1
bunch parsley
-
1/2
bunch cilantro
-
8 to 10
cloves garlic, chopped -
1
tablespoon white vinegar -
Generous pinch sea salt
-
1/2
cup extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
1. One day before cooking, prepare the
brine by bringing water to a boil and dissolving 1/2 cup of the sea
salt into it. It may not dissolve completely, but don’t worry about
that part. Using a meat injector, squirt a good shot into the
thickest part of the meat. Place it into a zipper bag and
refrigerate overnight.
2. To make the chimichurri (which you
can make ahead), stem and chop the parsley and cilantro, then place
them in the bowl of a food processor with the rest of the
ingredients, with the exception of the olive oil. Pulse a couple of
times until well-chopped, then, with the motor running on low,
gradually drizzle in the olive oil. Let it rest.
3. Start your coal grill, preferably
using the chimney method
4. In a pie pan or a large plate with
high edges, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sea salt, pepper, and
pimentón. Rub it all over the tri-tip (don’t skimp on the salt part
别忽略注盐的部位).
5. When your fire is hot enough, grill
the meat, flipping it only once, until it hits an internal
temperature of 130° F. Remove it from the grill and transfer it to
a platter to let it rest covered in foil for 10
minutes.
6. Carve and serve along with the
chimichurri as a condiment.
