Tri-tip
« on: March 10, 2017, 12:08:06 PM »
I've made several of these, with various techniques. This past cook I reverse seared it.
I got the (prime) cut from Costco, around $6.50/lb. I used Stubbs briquets & a few chunks of Red Oak. Seasoned only with Suzie Q's. I'm guessing the massive marbling is what made this one of my best tri-tips ever.
I also made homemade chimichurri sauce; Olive oil, fresh garlic, Italian parsley, red wine vinegar, ground oregano, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper.
Sliced the tri-tip thin & made sandwiches on fresh local bread.

Wow!  That is one of the best tri-tips I've seen, both pre and post cook.  I've never seen marbling like that in a tri-tip.
Well done!!!!

I need to find a butcher. All I ever see is pre-packaged pre-seasoned tri tip. I've never had one. Looks great!    Is it just a big steak?

@HoosierKettle the tri-tip is a triangular muscle from the bottom of the sirloin. Back in the day it used to be just ground into hamburger. Controversial, but most people say a butcher in Santa Maria, CA is who 1st cooked it up and made it what it is today. The Red oak & Suzie Q's seasoning I used are both from Santa Maria. :)

I'd love one of those sandwiches. Need to try this. What IT did you go to before the sear?

That the best looking TT's I've ever seen. So much marbling. I bet that was fantastic. [emoji106]

@kettlebb I think I went to 100 IT before the sear, and pulled them around 120-ish.

Excellent looking TT...Love cooking them but I usually sear and then move indirect to finish...Just seems to give me more control of the finish temp...

Damn that looks great!
I'd agree, seemed to be incredibly marbled, I so wish we had a Costco, we've only got a Sams club...☹️

Really does look awesome.  Here in St Louis they are hard to find and when you do they are much smaller.  Still turn out great though, I have only ever used the reverse seat method.
