The stars aligned - I found a Tri-tip
« Reply #-1 on: November 11, 2016, 11:19:16 AM »
Tri-tips are pretty scarce in my neck of the woods; up until now I’ve had to ask a butcher to cut one from the sirloin special for me.  It’s happened twice.  So I was shocked the other day to see sliced “Tri-tip Steaks” in a package at my local grocery store.  They were about ¾” thick.  So I asked the butcher behind the counter if they had any that weren’t cut.  He went into the walk-in and came back with a sealed package of 4.  Just blew me away.  I asked if they would be carrying this regularly and he said they would be offering the steaks going forward so I should be able to get a whole roast most of the time.  Yeehaa!

So it is trisket time!  I have been wanting to do this cook since the first time I saw Muebe post about it.  And I had bookmarked HighOnSmoke’s cook from last year to get his foil recipe:
2 Tbl melted butter
¼ tsp granulated garlic
¼ tsp dried parsley
¼ tsp granulated onion
2 tsp Worcestershire
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp beef stock
I’ll be using that again.  Anyway, on to the show.  - WARNING - Green orbs ahead.



Onto the MAK with some Montreal Seasoning and extra pepper



Pulled off the MAK at 150 IT, foiled, and took to 200 in the oven






Very tasty,  I wonder how this would be in the Pepper Stout Beef



Thanks for looking.

That's a scrumptious plate of food that makes me what some Tri-tip tonight.
I have never eat Tri-tip but this is pushing me that way.

It's like they can't seem to get over the Rockies.  Apparently, only West Coast beef critters have tri-tips?

Living in CA, we love tri tip... in fact, what brisket is to Texas, tri tip is to us. I am going to have to try a trisket one of these days. Just afraid to take the IT temp that high. 140-145° is where I prefer my end result to be ;-)

I kept looking for the point on the tri-tip.  Dang, no fat to be had.

I forgot to tell you the chicken story.  Those two 4lb birds cooking behind the trisket were cooked to pull the meat and freeze.  So here’s what happened.  I pulled the meat and got three one pound vac-sealed bags.  My Honey labeled them while I cleaned up.  I got up the next morning and they were still neatly stacked on the counter beside the fridge.  I can do stupid things with the best of them.
