Tri-tip "Trinket" or the Abominable Tri-tip
« Reply #-1 on: February 17, 2014, 09:04:34 PM »
I mentioned in another thread that I had brought a tri-tip to cook at Tee’s house this past weekend.  I wanted to do it “trisket style”, but due to the modern “auto-correct” feature on my iPad, it came out as “trinket” style.  What I didn’t fully mention was what we were going to do to the tri-tip first.  As you can see in the first picture, I have a piece of horseradish root that was peeled and then run through the food processor.  I pre-warned Tee about taking the lid off the food processor.  Some people just have to learn for themselves, I guess.





The next picture shows some of Tee’s homemade beer mustard being run through the mortis and pestle scene.



Since the shredded horseradish was too coarse, we needed to pulse it a few times with the blade to make it finer in texture.



This was the dangerous part of the meal.  Tee playing with knives.  Actually, he takes direction rather well.  (Must have been Mrs. Tee’s influence.)  He really did a nice job trimming the excess fat off the tri-tip.



Next we have the trimmed tri-tip coated in Tee’s mustard.



Getting ready to coat the tri-tip with the shredded horseradish.



Here is the tri-tip coated on one side with the horseradish.  Now it looks like the “Abominable Tri-Tip”.



If the vacuum sealed tri-tip had a chain, Tee could have worn it as a “trinket”.  I prefer to call this picture “Tee meets the Abominable Tri-tip”!



Onto the MAK at 225.  Tee used the probe and monitored it from his phone in the house.



Here we are well into the cook.  IT was about 150, but I wanted to use a brisket beer mop to run the temperature up to about 195.



Pouring the beer mop into the pan.  We foiled the pan and cranked up the grill temp to 350 to finish it off.



The first slice off the small end was all mine.  Besides looking really good, IMHO, it tasted damn good, too.  Tee ate the second slice.  I think he liked it!!



A few more slices and we can serve dinner.



Here it is plated.  Scalloped potatoes, a little fresh salad, and the sliced tri-tip.  As Sparky would say, “Good food, Maynard!!”



I have coated four prime rib roasts with freshly shredded horseradish.  The flavor just melts into the meat.  I would do this again with a tri-tip.  I think Tee will be doing this again, also.

Cooking it really tamed it down to being mild Drew. It was the best tasting Tri-Tip I have had yet. No question. The beer mop was awesome, and made for an au jus that was fantastic with it as a dip.

I don't want to rob Art's thread here...he will be along later I think.

I was concerned that the horseradish might be too powerful, and how that + the mustard would work. But - they were amazingly compatible, and mild. Pap - I think even YOU would like this!

Let me give you guys the Beer mop sauce recipe we used:
 1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar
1- 12oz. beer - your choice, this was a lager
2-3 TBS W.O.W.
1 - ( or more to taste ) Worchestershire sauce ;)
1- heaping tsp of Better Than Boullion beef broth concentrate ( you may want more - taste it after mixing.

Blend at high speed to homogenize.

We cooked the Tri Tip until it reached 135-140F - then boated it, pour the mop over it, then tented tightly with aluminum foil.

Cooked until 190F approx.

Fantastic....simply the best tasting Tri Tip I have ever tasted. I am thinking about doing a brisket like this.....

Drew,
Trust me, that was no stunt double.  One is enough.  The world is not ready for two people with white legs like Tee's!!

The meat looks delicious will use the mop recipe, thanks!!! Looks like you two are having a good time!!! Horseradish always reminds me of my Dad having me help grinding some with a hand grinder; maybe three turns of the crank and I was out of the house gasping for air. Don
