Tri-tip

[selfservebrewer]

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.

@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...

That looks really good! Nice looking sandwich.

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.
