Ted Johnson BBQ Cook Off

As an essential service, we wanted to take time to show our workers and employees our appreciation with a fun barbecue cook off and team lunch for all the hard work being done in our current situation. With everything going on, it’s important to take some time to celebrate the little things like cooking delicious food and sharing a meal and conversation with people (at a safe distance and with health measures of course).

On our menu today:

-Two Types of Ribs
-Chicken
-Grilled Tri-Tip Sandwiches
-Lots of fun!

Maybe all this yummy looking food will inspire you to make some for Memorial Day Weekend!

If you want the recipe, look no further:

Grilled Tri-Tip

Ingredients:
-4 lbs tri-tip roast
-4 cloves garlic, peeled and very thinly sliced
-1/3 cup salt
-1/3 cup pepper
-1/3 cup garlic salt

Steps:
1. Using a sharp knife, cut small slits into the top of the roast. Stuff the slits with slices of garlic.

2. Mix together salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Rub entire mixture all over the tri-tip. Refrigerate at least an hour and up to all day. Take the meat out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before grilling.

3. Preheat your outdoor grill for high heat

4. Place the meat directly above the flame for 5 to 10 minutes per side (depending on thickness) to sear the meat and lock in the juices.

5. Turn the grill down to medium heat and continue to cook for another 25 to 30 minutes, trying not to flip it too much. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Thermometer should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium-rare. Let stand, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 5 minutes before slicing
