Tri Tip is pretty scarce around here so when my farmer friend asked if I wanted one, I jumped on it. Not sure how long it has been since I had one, but well over a year, I am sure.

Anyhow, I didn't get to cook it when he gave it to me, so wound up in the freeze for a couple of weeks.

Wound up just going with the simple rub of salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic. Indirect until 125, then direct to finish.

Let it rest for a bit.

I like a little thicker slice, but my wife wanted some thin......best I could manage with my limited skills.

Mine hit the homemade bun with some roasted hatch chilis.

Pretty darn good. Tri tip isn't my absolute favorite cut in the world, but I would like to find one more than once a year. :mrgreen:
 
Tri Tip is my favorite cut and Ive cooked them for dinner well over a thousand times I'm sure. Yours looks excellent and I love your photos.
 
I’m with you. Not my fav either but it deserves a place in the rotation.

Looks like a great cook.
