4th of July

The 4th of July is here again and I am completely overjoyed to say it's not just a holiday but this Hollywood Food Stylists actual birthday. The 4th is one of my favorite times because of all the great festivities that occur through out the long weekend. Independence Day is commonly known as the Fourth of July and is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July- 4- 1776 when independence was declared from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Translation- another great opportunity to ham it up and show off your incredible cooking skills. I absolutely 100% love to BBQ and I am happy to announce it can be easier then you think its . I am a huge fan of this mouth watering tri-tip steak and know you will be to.
Enjoy

Grilled Tri-tip

Ingredients
• 2 (3-pound) tri-tip roasts • Basting Sauce, recipe follows • Seasoning Salt Mixture, recipe follows

Directions Heat grill to low. Coat both sides of the tri-tips with half of the seasoning mixture, rubbing it in as you would a dry rub. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Place the tri-tips over a low temperature fire, 1 with fat side up, and the other with fat side down. Turn as the first side gets crispy, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Be careful of flare-ups, as the dripping fat will fuel the fire. Turn the tri-tips before the heat pushes juices out the top, and continue to turn using this timing method throughout the cooking process. After turning, baste with sauce and season lightly, 4 times per side. Continue turning until the tri-tips are cooked to your liking. Remove from fire and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into 1/2-inch slices against the grain.
