Tri-tip and Chimichurri go together better than most anything. The Louisiana Grills Prime Steakhouse Rub brings out the beefy flavor of the tri-tip, complemented by the fresh, tangy flavor of the chimichurri. The meat quality matters, so always buy at least a "choice" graded tri-tip. The finished product is worth it!
