One of my neighbors and good friends told me I had to try tri-tip because it was the best steak she ever had! It is a little difficult to find near me, but I think it is pretty much available at health food grocery stores. It actually was pretty reasonably priced also. Since I had never even heard of it before, I obviously didn't know how to cook it, so I found this site:

I didn't have the choice of trimmed or untrimmed, so I did trim a little bit of the fat off the bottom. I didn't leave it out for their suggested time, but I did leave it out for about an hour before I cooked it. I seasoned both sides with grill seasoning and Cavender's all purpose greek seasoning, a seasoning that a good friend and excellent steak griller turned me onto. Mostly, because that is what I already had on hand. I did do exactly what they suggested with the grill temp and the burners. I did not use any oil, as they suggested, but I did spray the grill with PAM for grilling. I cooked it for about 15 minutes on each side, but next time I may try about 10 minutes on each side. I did let it rest for a few minutes and cut it against the grain. It was very tasty and juicy! I was very pleased with the outcome! Just weigh out how much you eat, and search for a steak on WW since Tri-tip is not listed. I ate about 6 oz., and it was 7pp.
As a side I made an old summertime staple in my family growing up, squash and onions. I just cut up a couple of good sized squash into discs, cut up the onions into thin strips, put them in a pan with a tight fitting lid, sprinkled them with salt and pepper, sprayed a little spray butter, put enough water to come up about halfway in the pan, cover and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, occasionally stirring. It is 0pp for as much as you want to eat of it, and it is so good! You could also do the same with zucchini.
