      p. 194 I had a tri-tip steak (not a cut that’s widely available in Canada it seems) so I did an EYB search for a recipe since I hadn’t worked w that cut before and landed here. Only as I type this now do I realize that the recipe doesn’t suggest a tri-tip at all, rather it calls for a NY strip or sirloin tip. I think this may have been my downfall as although we loved the flavour of the rub and Asian-style sauce, the steak was as tough as nails and super-chewy. I suspect a tri-tip may need a long marinating time and this recipe calls for a quick dusting of a 5 spice rub and right into the pan it goes. I’d definitely make the dish again w the right cut of beef as the flavours and aromas were incredible. Too bad about the meat itself! We served this alongside a great bean and mushroom dish from World Vegetarian by Madhur Jaffrey. Note to self, read book carefully even if EYB search yields a recipe!
