Default Tips for cooking some Tri-Tips this weekend?

Doing some Tri-tips this weekend, and I have some question?

When Do you put on your rub? (the night before, right before, 1 hour before)

Do your sear first then indirect after or opposite?

What's your target temp?

How long should I plan on it taking? (approximately, of course)


Thanks,

Paddy

I smoke mine at 225 with a coating of EVOO and a mix of rosemary, coarse salt and coarse pepper. Til 135 IT About two and a half to three hours. I always reverse sear for maillard, not char.

I totally agree on the 135 IT. Personally, I think the lower temp you can cook, the longer it takes to get there, the better it turns out. If I'm really prepared, I'll dry rub the night before and keep it in the fridge. I think it turns out better that way. I don't usually sear mine, but if I've got my gasser going too, I will. EVOO works well, especially if you're gonna sear. A little worchestershire bath if you're just going straight indirect works nicely too. You can do a lot with tri-tip, but most importantly, don't overcook.

Slow cook (either indirect or smoking) and then when it gets to like 120/125, sear it over direct flame and rest for about 15 minutes or so.

Just don't overcook it and make sure to slice across the grain. And the grain on a tri-tip can vary from one end to the other on the same piece of meat. Make sure to note the grain before cooking.

Other than that, the possibilities are endless for rubs/marinades, etc. Something as simple as salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Nice Thanks, I've always done it the other way, so I'll be into trying it that way...

Good point! You almost have to slice tri-tip in an arcing motion
