First tri-tip

[Bury Me In Smoke]

Never cooked a tri-tip before, read a lot about them here so recently ordered a couple from Wild Fork and did one today on the Mak. The wifey likes her beef done a little more than I prefer, but this was still juicy and tender and quite delicious! The smoked veggies and potatoes were great as well.

Couldn't load the video of the sear on the Weber, so here's a photo.

Why are some of my photos sideways? Am I able to fix that?

Thanks! I threw it together quickly when I got the Mak and have been meaning to make upgrades to it, just had other things to do first!

The grain changes direction somewhere between the small end and the larger end, if you don't change your cutting cross grain you will end up with some tougher than necessary slices.

Yea, turn your phone sideways

Jk- I have the same issues and still haven’t figured it out!

Looks great!!

How did you marinate yours?

I found this to be a good place I work from and tweak it here and there based on how I feel that day:

I did mine sort of a reverse sear on my BGE...turned out nice.

But I'm of the thought, that Tri-Tip may be better served much more done that I usually like (medium rare).
As that mine was less chewy and actually seemed to taste a bit better the next day warmed up and more fully cooked.

But here's what mine looked like.

Thank you!

I used a beef rub on mine from Big Poppa Smokers. I put the rub on Friday night but due to rain on Saturday I couldn't cook it until Sunday, so it took on a lot of flavor!

Yours looks great too but a little too rare for my liking!

Nice meal/ramp/setup. I had that beer last time I was in CT. Good stuff.
