Title: Week-end Warm Up TRI-TIP
Post by: Old Hickory on May 25, 2012, 07:57:05 PM

Have pork shoulders and ribs to do for the weekend, soooo the Wife and I decided we would get a beef fix now.  We found a nice tri-tip at Costco, choice cut.

Added extra pepper to the Santa Maria seasoning 3:1, used OO to make a paste and rubbed generously.

Into the smoker @ 220* used the Auber PID with the target temp 125*, also had the Maverick probe in place.

 

Out of the smoker with IT of 127* and time for a little 10 min rest, then slice to eat.

The center was rare and the tapered ends med-rare, the way we like it.  The pics show the meat with a more red tint than was present.  Buttered corn on the cob, roasted new potatoes, home made salsa with chips made a tasty meal, and of course we had a glass of red wine.

That looks tasty! I have a Tri-Tip in the fridge - it should be thawed enough to cook tomorrow. Really looking forward to it.

Muebe always has great looking tri-tips, and besides, he has more new toys than I do. :) ;D
