In this recipe, you'll learn how to herb crust and sear up Tri-Tip steak! We will be mixing up a marinade of fresh rosemary, parsley, basil, and red wine, and then we'll infuse olive oil to garnish the finished steak with. We will be searing the Tri Tip on the American Muscle Grill, that I have loaded with charcoal and wood chunks for a great fire grilled flavor!
