Of course I will be cooking this hunk of meat using my Sous-Vide and finishing it off on the Weber Genesis Grill at an extreme temp.   First things first where do you buy a Tri-Tip? I have never seen it at QFC or Safeway but it's always available  at Costco.  Why is it called a Tri-Tip? I am not sure either. I h...
