Brazilian Salt Crusted Tri-Tip

Probably one of the easiest and best preparations of meat, this recipes works particularly well with tri-tip cuts of steak, but just about any cut could substitute.

Tri-tip strips (fat removed)
Rock Salt
Egg whites (optional)

Instructions: Simply roll and cover strips of tri-tip in generous amounts of rock salt. Broil (or even grill) to medium rare. Remove rock salt (shake and brush off). Slice and serve.

Alternatively, you could mix the rock salt with egg whites (from 1 or 2 eggs) before applying the mixture to the steak. This creates a more firm and well-formed crust.
