Got in the mood for some beef, hit the local butcher and asked about a Tri-tip.

He had to trim some out of a hunk of sirlon and at the end of it, he kind of complained that it was a lot of work. How rude is that?

Last time I spend any money there.

Anyways, took the hunk-o-beef home and rubbed it with EVOO and The Rub Co. Santa Maria style Rub.

Got the Med setup for indirect, using a firebrick and all the coals to one side.

Kept her going with some Maple wood until the internal reached about 145°. Then cranked the fire up a bit and put her on for a direct sear.

After resting about 10 minutes, I began to slice, against the grain of course.

My plated product, with a homemade chimuchurri style sauce (consisting of Basil, Oregano, Garlic, Kosher Salt and Red Pepper Flakes! Sauce was great!) as well as Roasted Red Peppers slices and Baked Beans.

I thought the butcher did a hell of a good job. I like the second shot on the fire.
