1st Tri-TIp

[Big Dawg]

I've read about these time and time again on the various BBQ forums that I frequent but I've never tried to cook one, primarily because they haven't been available in the supermarkets that I frequent.  These were done at my daughter's house, so I used their gasser.

Yes, the venerable Tri-Tip. Simple rub of S&P, Garlic Powder, & Rosemary. Mop sauce of EVOO, Red Wine, Red Wine Vinegar, and more of the rub mixture.

Grilled indirect while the Brussel Sprouts (par boiled/ice bathed) were getting some good marks on them. I flipped the Tri-Tip about every 5 minutes and re-applied the mop sauce.



Once the Sprouts were done and the Tri-Tip reached about 110º IT, I moved it to Direct Heat.



It only took about 10 minutes to get some good grill marks and raise it up to 135º IT. Then it went in to rest for 15 minutes while I reheated the sprouts, finished off some oven roasted Taters, along with some onions and mushrooms.



All in all a very nice meal.  Can't wait to try it on my OTP with the SnS ! ! !

I too have never cooked one of these. Don't see them in my grocery store. Yours looks great! Job well done.

That looks wonderful! I love tritip and I would go to town on that plate, except for the mushrooms - someone else can have my serving of those. 😀

Looks really good, nice job!  Tritip is one of my favorite cuts... Thanks for sharing!
