1 Trader Joe’s Carne Asada Autentica tri-tip steak (about 1 1/2 lbs) 4 large or 8 small heirloom tomatoes 1 ripe avocado 1/2 red onion 1/4 to 1/…2 cup Trader Ming’s Sesame Soy Vinaigrette (yeah—I know it’s not Mexican, but just try it!)
Heat a grill to high heat and sear the tri-tip on both sides. Reduce heat to medium and cover the grill. Cook until rare—until the internal temperature is 130 degrees on an intant-read thermometer. Let the meat rest at least 10 minutes before slicing thinly. Slice tomatoes and arrange on a platter. Slice the avocado and red onion and arrange along the edges of the platter. Dress lightly with the vinaigrette and arrange the sliced tri-tip in the center. Serves 4-6 Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: less than 30 minutes
