 Jerk Tri-Tip with Orange Glaze and Bulgar Wheat Salad

The Tri-Tip cut is a favorite of chefs. The meat is flavorful and the marinating makes this cut butter knife tender. The natural nuttiness of Bulgur Wheat salad makes for a nice accompaniment. *Other steak cuts would work for this dish too, such as Wild Idea Flank Steaks, Flat Irons or Sirloins.

(serves 4)

Ingredients:
1 – 1 lb. Wild Idea Buffalo Tri-Tip Roast

1 - Preheat oven to 450°.  In a cast iron or heavy ovenproof skillet, over medium high heat, heat the pan. Shake excess marinade off roast and place in hot pan.
