    • Finishing Steps

    • Step 0

      Remove from bag and dry extremely well.

    • Step 1

      Spread a very, very thin layer of mayo onto the tri-tip (I like to use a silicone pastry brush for this).

      Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat until VERY hot

    • Step 3

      Add avocado oil and then the tri tip. Sear for about 30 seconds on each side until well browned.
