How to Slice a Tri-Tip Steak (Against the Grain!)
When slicing this cut of meat on your cutting board, it is beyond essential to cut your slices against the grain.

I usually make a long cut starting at the meat's tip where the grain changes direction and then rotate each half accordingly to slice against the grain.
