Bring your tri-tip to room temperature for even cooking. Prepare the charcoal barbecue, letting the coals become ash-covered and white, for a consistent medium-high heat.

Rub the tri-tip with olive oil, mustard, sea salt, black pepper, thyme and garlic. Sprinkle over some fresh thyme leaves for an aromatic touch.

Place the tri-tip over direct heat on the grill and sear each side, getting a nice crust, max 5 minutes per side.

After searing, shift the tri-tip to a cooler part of the grill for indirect cooking. Cover on the grill, move it regularly to ensure an even cook, whilst keeping an eye for the desired level of doneness.

Test the meat with a thermometer for precision; medium-rare is perfect at 55°C.

Let the tri-tip rest off the grill, allowing the juices to settle.

Carve against the grain and serve. Pair with your choice of sides like fresh, grilled vegetables or a crisp garden salad for a complete meal.

All our meat is delivered frozen.

We deliver it to you in insulated sustainable wool packaging that can keep it frozen for 72hrs. When you receive your meat please put it straight in the freezer. Even if it has defrosted it is ok to put back in the freezer as long as it is not warm.

We deliver it frozen for a number of critical reasons:

• Natures preservative. Freezing is one of the most ancient of all methods of preservation. We firmly believe that when frozen rapidly there is no loss of quality in the meat.

• Sustainability. By freezing our meat we can ensure there is as close to zero waste as possible. Our meat is frozen as soon as it is butchered in protective packaging that allows us to keep the meat perfectly for over a year. This is vs 10 days for fresh.

• Seasonality. Like vegetables, meat has a season. By freezing our meat we can select our produce when it is at its very best. Fresh meat butchers cannot do this and you can taste the difference in our meat.

• Better supporting farmers. For our farmers it is most profitable for them to get the produce off the farm as soon as it is ready. This allows us to support them better.
