Behind the Recipe
It Was a Last Minute Trip to Wine Country
We were driving home when we found this little shack outside Modesto with the best tri-tip ever. To this day, we still can’t figure out exactly how he made it so tender and flavorful. This is the closest we ever came.
If you’re anything like us, there’s just nothing better than tender red meat with mushroom sauce. This recipe’s got it all, and it’s super easy to follow. Let’s do this.
