Molasses Tri-Tip
« Reply #-1 on: January 20, 2013, 05:15:44 PM »
Well I had planned on doing a Trisket with this cook but due to time constraints it was just a Tri-Tip.

Started with a frozen Tri-Tip that was seasoned with Tim's M-3 rub and some smoked salt before it was frozen and vac sealed...



Then slathered with molasses...



PBC pre-heated...



In goes the Tri-Tip. Did not use the meat hooks because again I thought I was gonna make a Trisket...



1 1/2 hours later it went from frozen to 150F IT...



Tightly wrapped in foil and into the fridge for 30 minutes to cool before slicing...



Sliced thin for sammies later and another cook. I did sneak a couple of pieces and dang that molasses & rub go great together!









And here is the igrill graph of the entire cook...

YUM!!! You had me kind of looking forward to seeing another "Trisket" post...

But that is making my mouth water!



Really makes me wish I could use molasses freely without allergy problems!

I was thinking with the higher internal cooking temp of the PBC there might have been some burning of the molasses or a unattractive dark color but that was not the case!

Smoke I have found that my PBC runs between 280F and 310F. Not hot enough to scorch the molasses although my intention was to take the Tri-tip up to 200F internal and no foiling for full bark development to see how it turned out. Did not have enough time so maybe next time ;)

Even though I did take the Tri-tip up to 150F internal it still was extremely tender and sliced thinly across the grain like butter. Very impressed with this charcoal cooker!

I would figure the temps between 135 and 175 would be where the Tri would make a nice doorstop, but you have disproved that theory!!

Another perfect looking and I bet tasting Tri-Tip  :)  That's how a Tip should look like  :P

Ordered me an iGrill ... it's due to ship on the 25th.  Can't wait to use the graphing capability ... especially on my PTG while I'm dialing it in  :D
