Title: Tri-tip and veggies
Post by: Bbqmiller on June 22, 2013, 04:02:52 PM
It has been a crazy week. What better than to fire up the 26 with some fire and cook a 3 lb tri-tip

I seared on both sides to get a nice crust. It went indirect until internal temp was around 125-130. Indirect was around 350 or so at the lid. It took around 40 min or so. I always go by temp. When you take it off around 125, it will rise to around 130 or so. Just cut them against grain. I threw in a couple of chunks of dogwood. It is like oak but a tad milder.

That looks great! Reverse searing is the ticket.

That's a beauty of a tri-tip! If I could find one around here I'd try it out.  Maybe Costco has them hmm...

Guys from the Midwest area, try your local butcher. That's where I find my tri-tips.

Looks great! I do the tri tip on the weber kettle just like you do although I do the reverse sear method. Although I want to try searing first then indirect to see if there is any difference.

Matter in fact I am doing one tomorrow for some family.

Around here I can find tri tip at costco and wal mart

I always use a thermapen now for checking temp on big cuts of meat. If you have s trader joes, they always have tri tips. They aren't the cheapest, but the quality seems consistent. I have yet to find a local butcher that has them in NJ.
