Oh heavenly Tri Tip!

[dirtsailor2003]

I have to admit that I am a Tri Tip addict. I buy bulk packs from our restaurant supply. There are usually 6-7 in a pack. I break open the pack and vac pack and freeze the individual steaks. We have Tri tip several times a months. I really want to get some red oak so I can do a true Santa Maria style Tri, but it's hard to get in my area. I really like to use a combination of cherry and pecan. I usually keep my rubs simple SPOG. Sometimes I will marinate in Worcestershire but that is it. So here is last nights. Cooked on the mini-wsm, running 265° Cherry and pecan TBS. Pulled at 135°, foiled and let rest for 45minutes prior to slicing.

Had some veggies below











ENJOY!!!!

Oh that looks like some right fine tri-tip! My fam loves them as well... I asked what they liked better.. tri tip or rib eye??/ and 4 out of the 5 said tri tip..it is a great cut of meat.. we have been getting wimpy ones as of late... 2.5 to 3.5 pounders.. I like the 4-5 pounders to be honest.. that way the next day you can do a steak salad or a steak sammy!

We prefer Tri tip over most steak cuts. Actually I prefer it hands down over brisket! I'd rather have smoked Tri any day. There was enough of this one to make tonight's dinner too, which I will post tomorrow!!!

Looks great. I've always seared and gone indirect. I am going to have try smoking one.

I very rarely sear mine. Every once in a while I will sear, but that's after smoking! Tri tip sure makes great French dip style sandwees!

Here is one that I did grill though, it was raining sideways and I didn't want to mess with the smoker.

Looks Great!

I just bought 15#'s of Tri-Tip steaks today. I really like the steaks vs the roasts as time goes by.

In any event, if I can't eat a Flat Iron, then it's going to be a Tri-Tip.
