Pags - looks terrific, nice job! Thankfully, tri-tip is still a west coast thing...many don't know what they are missing. I like to cook mine hot and fast, rare on the inside, crispy on the out. I agree with Texas Marshall, Costco has THE best tri tip I have found, however I have not tried Bristol Farms Wagyu....once mine rest's, I like to use a meat slicer and slice it thin like roast beef. Perfect for sandwiches....btw, where's the picture of the mixed green salad that went with that beef and wine...I know you didn't serve it with potato salad.......
