You too? Excellent. Let’s make with the moo. This was the first beef tri tip I’ve ever made. Double R Farms. Tri-Tip Steak with Potatoes. Have you cooked or eaten tri-tip before? Two ho...

Ghee is essentially shelf stable, because the milk solids have been removed so there is nothing to go rancid or spoil. You ...
