Title: Instant Gourmet seasoned Tri-Tip
Post by: muebe on April 01, 2012, 08:16:46 PM

I had a tri-tip in the deep freeze that was liberally seasoned with Instant Gourmet before freezing...

I set the Bradley PID for a cabinet temp of 240F and the convection fan on. I normally go 225F with tri-tip but decided to go with a higher temp. I gave the tri-tip an hour of Jim Beam Oak...

About 2 1/2 hours later the IT of the tri-tip was 140F. The higher temp shaved off about 30 to 45 minutes of cooking time. I opened the cabinet door and feasted my eyes upon this...

I pulled it out and let it rest for 20 minutes under a aluminum tent before slicing...

Plated with scalloped potatoes :)

Ok so I already knew that the Instant Gourmet is one fantastic rub. I just bought a pound of the stuff ;) It was just plain awesome on Tri-Tip.

This was by far the most tender Tri-Tip I have made to date! The 240F temp in the Bradley is the best temp for Tri-Tip. That will be my go to temp for now on ;)
