Not a dinner pic! Just some juicy, tri tip goodness.  |
|
Quoted: Needs the fat still on it while cooking. Trimmed tri tip is worst tri tip. Quoted: Quoted: I'll take tri tip over any other cut of beef any time. |
|
Never even heard of tri-tip until I moved to CA. There, I became friends with my landlord, a lifetime member of the NRA and a guy who really knew how to BBQ tri-tip. He used to bring it by before we'd go shooting.
Turns out tri-tip is big in CA but unheard of in TX. Now that I'm back in TX, there's so much good meat to put on my grill that I don't even miss it. From what I've heard, most of the tri-tip goes to the West Coast and Canada. It's a shame. It's a good cut of meat. |

Looks great. FYI: This is an amazing Santa Maria rub.  |

Quoted:
This one was liberally covered with Pappy's Prime Rib Rub. Quoted:
Quoted:
Homemade rub, or you use something like Suzie Q's? Suzie Q FTMFW! I do mine in a WSM over 1/2 lump charcoal and 1/2 red oak chunks. Pure fucking win. |

Quoted:
I'll take tri tip over any other cut of beef any time. Pretty much this. Curious what it runs per lb there. Here on the east coast it can be a little hard to find, but I'm seeing more of it around lately. Average is $10-12/lb, and I occasionally get bison tri-tip from a local farmer for about $16. |

Shit, that's cheaper than chicken here. |

Our Lucky's sure has some awesome sales don't they? Cooked one a few weeks ago and threw the other one I bought in the freezer! I am surprised by the folks that have never had one! I thought tri tip was a normal fan fair! |

Quoted: Wife cooked this one. 350 in the oven for 1/2 hour. Let rest for 15 miinutes. Slice and serve. Quoted: Quoted: Looks really good, cooking details please.   your smoker broken? |

Quoted:
I get all my tri-tip from Costco. 
The pre-seasoned tri-tip from them is good too. The fancy big named packaged tips suck in comparison., looking at you douche bag Gee Fieri. Trimmed tri-tip is how I like mine, and has never been a problem while cooking. I get most of my beef there.

It kind of looks like brisket in this pic? Is it it a similar cut?
I would have moved to Texas sooner if I would have known about brisket, but I like Tri-tip when I am on the left coast. Looks delicious. Quoted:
Leftovers after my last tri-tip. Little on the done side, but great nonetheless. http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc426/jlheard3/IMG_0184_zpswql0unih.jpg |

| I like to marinade mine in lime juice, olive oil, a little garlic powder and cumin for a couple of hours to let it acid cook the outside, then rub with coarse salt and black pepper and sear it nice and rare/med rare where it looks like the OP. The lime juice makes it amazing. |

It is getting big in texas, with all the fucking transplants coming here. |
| Steak Sundays around my house usually contain a Tri-Tip. Sure miss the good old days when it was some of the cheapest cuts of meat at the market. I would definitely buy it cheap and stack it deep for $2.89 a pound. Usually runs in the $7 range here in NM at the Costco. |

Smoking a Tri Tip is good eatin' and pretty cheap to fix. The following is what I follow to smoke on my egg.  https://youtu.be/fnTX63AodOYNice hat! 
On my egg I smoke it for an hour 200-220 deg. Right at 45 min to an hour or so it hits internal temp of 100. Then I crank up the heat full blast on the egg to bark up and sear the out side. I aso do the rock salt method. Coat the meat in olive oil, season with pepper & garlic. Then cover in rock salt. Cook on the egg as described above. Remove at temp dust off rock salt and rest. It’s killer! |
