Tri Tip Try
« on: November 09, 2020, 10:54:06 AM »
First time of doing a Tri Tip.  Bought it from our local Fareway store for $3.99 lb. I know the meat manager and was buying some T-Bones and he recommended the Tri Tip. I've never done one, so what the heck. It weighed 2.75 lbs.  My normal kosher salt and black pepper 50/50 mix went on it.  Put in on my DB for 1.5 hours at 150. I thought my DB was calibrated at 200 but it was more like 235!!  I just let it go for two hours at that temp. I never probed it for IT temp.  The flavor was outstanding!! By the time you take all the fat off a $2.96 /lb brisket, the cost I think would be close to be equal. No fat to trim off. Better flavor than brisket. I was really impressed by how tender it was!! It was pull apart tender. Going back today to get 4 more while on still on sale.  Just a great cut of beef!

Looks very good. Is that a sauce or glaze on it?

tri tip is definitely a winner for for all sorts of meals, rare to trisket.  Montreal, S&P, Santa Maria, even marinade.  Just a great cut of meat and for our house, the "tip" goes to my wife as she wants hers well done.   

On to your point.   We get Costco Tri-Tip and when it's $5.99 I'm stocking up.   $7.99 seems to be pretty normal, and I've seen $9.99.   Crazy all around.  At $3.99 ... my freezer would be full.

You and Daniel Boone did a great job on that.

Thanks All!!  There is no glaze on it. Just the salt and pepper along with the smoke on it.

Just got almost 12 pounds worth. I would have gotten more but our freezer if full already. :(

Great looking tri tip!  Wish I stumbled onto a price like that. Doubt I ever will since tri tip is not very common in my area.

Tri tip is rare around me.  Walmart has it sometime.  Right now one store has it for $7.42/lb.  I'm very jealous.

That's about what they go for at our local meat market too.  I think it's a wonderful cut of meat.
