Tri-tip is our favorite roast of beef. If you haven’t heard of it, that’s mainly because it’s mostly found on the West Coast. However, you can ask your butcher and it’s possible that they can get one for you. It is a tender. lean cut of beef that gets its name from the triangular shape of the roast. It’s full of flavor and is generally very affordable. Season it with garlic, salt and pepper and roast in the oven for an easy and delicious dinner. If you prefer, this same recipe is also great grilled.

Hi Patty, you leave the fatty side up to let all of the nice juices drop down while it cooks.
I’m a newbie so please bare with me- there is a more fatty side and I want leave it for flavor while cooking, but do I place fat-side up or down?
