Default What happens if you cook a tri tip like a brisket? Ever tried?

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?

I fell asleep with a foiled tri-tip resting in a smoker. 3 hours later it was basically a mushy potroast.

not enough deep tissue fat in the tri tip. you will end up with a dry mussy piece of meat.

Hockey puck or dog food take your pick! I personally think they are ruined if they are taken past 140.

It's not about fat, it's about connective tissue.

Not as fatty as a brisket, but here is a very well trimmed one.....

Let's just say it would not be my cut of choice to make jerky!

I think the point here is, Brisket are muscles that are used differently on the animal. The connective tissues should not be confused with fat content. Fat is Flavor but just because a peice of meat is fatty does not mean it is tough and requires a Low-n-Slow cook to tender the meat.

These type of muscles are being worked hard from the Brisket cut and are tough.

If you cook a Tri-Tip 10+ hours you may just have, Meat Pudding.

Not within the muscle itself. Many lean cuts still need to be trimmed of the exterior fat.
