How to Grill Tri-Tip the Easy & Tasty Way - A Fantastic Tri Tip Beef Recipe!
If you are looking for a great tri tip beef recipe, this article is what you need!
Do you like being outside with your friends grilling on a sunny summer day? Well then, if you enjoy steak, I would recommend getting a tri-tip. It is one of the best cuts of meat to serve to a lot of people. The best part about it is that it is a lot cheaper to serve a tri-tip steak than a bunch of individual steaks. A decent size tri-tip can easily feed about five hungry people.
Most people who live on the East Coast have not been introduced to the tri-tip. It is actually considered to be a roast, and comes from the bottom of the sirloin. Even though it is a roast, when grilled, it is much more similar to steak. If you go to a BBQ on the West Coast you are guaranteed to find this cut of meet sizzling on the grill.
People prepare this steak many different ways. A great way is to marinate it overnight so that the flavor fully soaks into the meat. You can also coat it with a dry rub right before throwing it on the grill. My favorite way of cooking this steak is apply a dry rub, then spread BBQ sauce all over it about 10 minutes before it is ready to come off the grill. If grilled properly, it should leave the meat with a nice crust and a great center flavor.
Make sure that you grill your tri-tip over an indirect heat at about 325°F. This is referred to as slow cooking, and yes its very slow (ranging from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the size of the meat). You should figure about 30 minutes per pound.
If you like your steak burnt to a crisp, then the tri-tip is not for you. This cut of meat should be cooked medium rare to medium. When the center of the meat reaches 140°F, it is time to take it off of the grill. When it is off the grill, let it sit uncovered for about 10 minutes so that the juices won't all run out.

Eating Healthy For One
When you're on your own, and you're planning on eating healthy for one, it can seem like a daunting and thankless task. Yet if you plan carefully, you can both save time and eat healthier than you might have thought you could.
Almost any meal that you would normally cook for a full family can be adjusted to making individual meals for eating healthy for one. If you have some spare time, one day a week, you can create a variety of delicious, healthy meals for yourself.
First find a few recipes that you think you would like, and get the needed items to prepare them on the day and time you have set aside to do so. Prepare the full meals as directed, then separate them into individual servings and put them into separate freezer containers.
Eating healthy for one doesn't mean that you have to cook every day. If you follow this procedure every week or so, you can have a variety of home made healthy meals available to you by just opening your freezer. Just remember to label and date them, and rotate them as you make more meals so that nothing will go out of date before you eat it.
Before leaving for work in the morning, you can pull something out to thaw and when you come home, by using a microwave, you can have a hot, delicious meal on the table in minutes, eating healthy for one because you already did the hard part preparing and separating your meals.
When you have the time, you can create meals with four to six servings or adapt the recipes so that they could feed you for weeks.
If you don't have any ideas, one easy recipe you could try is Orange Glazed Chicken:
Lay one skinless, boneless chicken breast in a cooking dish and drizzle it with extra virgin olive oil and toss on a few cloves of garlic.
You will want to bake it until it is cooked throughout, and during the final five minutes or so, juice a medium size orange into a sauce pan and over a low heat, cook it until it nearly boils.
Whisk in a Tbsp. of a good white wine or orange liqueur (if you like a more intense citrus flavor) and cook until it is reduced by half.
If you prefer not to cook with alcohol, you can substitute it for an equal amount of water.
Take the chicken out of the oven and put it on a plate. Let it stand for a couple minutes then pour the warm glaze over the top.
You can add a nice green salad to that and be eating healthy for one.
If you'd like to have a dessert with that, no problem. Try this favorite of mine:
Melt one to two ounces of white chocolate in a double boiler, or in the microwave, being careful just to melt it and not burn it. Then allow it to cool just slightly then stir in about 1/3 cup of heavy cream (just an occasional treat, not to be recommended daily).
Stir the mixture well and pour it over some fresh sliced fruit of your choice. If eaten occasionally, this stays with your theme of eating healthy for one, and it goes wonderfully with the glazed chicken meal.
I hope you have found this helpful and now realize that eating healthy for one doesn't have to be a big daily job for you or anyone.
