Looks good Hank. Did you use any special rub or seasoning after on the meat?
The last two batches, including this one, I used something new for me, Rodelle Gourmet Prime Rib Seasoning for Beef and Pork.
What makes this different from other rubs I have used is the large chunks of seasonings and seeds. It is really course ground. In fact, it looks like it uses rock salt.
It has salt, sugar, black pepper, spices, bell pepper, garlic, onion and mustard seed. I added the rub the night before and let it dry brine over night.]
I really like this stuff. I may try it on my next tri-tip. I have been using Santa Maria seasoning for most beef.
