Tri Tip is a fatty cut of meat, as is Brisket. Ever tried cooking a tri tip like a brisket? Will tri tip soften up like a brisket?
It's not about fat, it's about connective tissue.
^^^^^^ LOVE!
Tri Tip is fatty???
Does pork butt have a lot of connective tissue?
why yes it does. :thumb:

Still think a Tri Tip is not fatty?
Let's just say it would not be my cut of choice to make jerky!

Okay, that post could have been more useful. The tri-tip was cooked at 230F for 4.5 hours, it was rubbed with a first layer of Simply Marvelous Cherry rub and a second layer of my own riff off of the Dirty Dalmation rub. It was cooked over Royal Oak briquettes. I did no sear on the tri-tip for this cook, it was straight up low-n-slow, served with a 15 minute rest under a foil tent. It was one of the best tri-tips I have ever had.
Just found this in the archives from a guy named Landarc. Ever heard of him?
Still think you can't cook tri tip low and slow?:shock::redface::shocked::redface:
I had no opinion when I originally asked. But I know enough not to make assumptions on things I have never tried before.:redface:
