ever had the tri tip steak at the Road House Grill. It is delicious. How can I get mine to taste that great?

Answer 1

Marinate it in the same stuff they do, then cook over a hickory wood barbecue grill.

Answer 2

I am a former chef and have worked with steakhouse operations, a marinate as stated by the first respondant said, or a dry rub and let it sit in the frig for a few hours, or overnight.

For flavour issues it all comes down to not over cooking it, I am not sure how you like your steak done, but if you cook it over medium it can be dry and a bit tasteless, if you can get it cut into a medallion form, a slice of bacon like a filet mignon does improve the flavour.

Here in Canada the stores sell a sirloin medallion, a small piece of center cut sirloins steak with a netting to keep it together, and tri-tip is a cut this is coming from.

Answer 3

It is fantastic, especially the fresh baked bread and the peanuts on the floor.
You can't duplicate the restaurant taste because of there cooking equipment.

Answer 4

I've never eaten there, but I've asked at other restaurants and been told that they get their meat in already in a marinade, and it's proprietary - meaning they won't tell you what's in it, sort of a trade secret.

Answer 5

i know this cool chick who cooks really good, she probably could cook it good for you...you know her really well...she hearts jimmy. hee hee. except for the lady who hacks coughing by the bathroom, she could not cook it for you. she would barf on it.
