Title: California Spring Tip
Post by: Duke on April 11, 2013, 08:38:26 PM

I picked up this nice tri tip yesterday. I rubbed it with Mojave Complete Seasoning and smoked it over red oak.

Here it is after the smoke bath getting a sear.

Ready to slice.

Sliced. :o By the way, I only slice what we are going to eat to keep the rest from drying out. I will cut the rest tomorrow and then if anything is left it's killer taco time!

I was drooling before I even got to the end! May have to get some tri-tip for the weekend.

That looks delicious. Not sure why, but you don't see Tri's here in MN.

Its more of a west coast cut. If you find a butcher worth his salt you can get it by special request.
 Great looking tri duke!!

That looks great! You should try grilling the carrots as well, though you will need a basket or grate with closer spacing lest they escape into the fire.  :o

You should give them a try right on the grate brushed with a little EVOO and sprinkled with S&P.

Thanks, what I like to when I have the time, (I almost never do anymore) Is I make what I call "two step". I steam my vegetables until they are the consistency I like and then toss them in my grill wok over the flames until they get a little char and they are done. Nothing else needed. I like a little butter and pepper on them though that I just add when they are on the plate. On the ones pictured above, I had my hands full working around the house for the entire cook, so I just set and forget until they are finished. Then hand them to the wife to plate and put on the table.
