My first fatty

[bigmikey]

Was planning on a stuffed tri tip today, but they were all small and didn't look that great. Bought a 3 lb package of beef, split in half and placed each half in a gallon ziploc. Flattened with a rolling pin and into the fridge while I got rest ready. Sautéed some mushrooms,  onion, jalapeños  and garlic in some butter then set aside to cool while i made a bacon weave. Topped the beef with 6 slices of swiss, and stuffing mixture then rolled up. Wrapped in bacon weave and back into the fridge while preheating smokers. 1 on the yoder, and 1 on the kettle with vortex set up for indirect.  Thin blue hickory smoke rolling out of each smoker at 225











And a plain one for the kids

That looks really good!!
I wouldn't have guessed that was your first. This is a work of an expert
I really like stuffed Tri Tip too. What do stuff yours with?

Thanks everyone,  I'd seen enough fatties to know what to do, just never tried one. The key to looking that good is playing in meat in a gallon ziploc and rolling flat with a rolling pin. Makes it so easy to work with and uniform. 

My favorite tri tip I like to do are started with a layer of grey poupon, , then some provolone,  roasred anehiem peppers and red peppers, and some mushrooms.

... And, it won't be your last.  Looks fantastic!

Sometimes they are even better the next day.  I have done the following:

Cut off a half to three-quarter inch thick slice.  Fry it on a cast iron pan, then top it with a sunny-side up egg .... Breakfast of champions.
