First time Tri Tip with pr0n

[sleebus.jones]

Saw a Tri Tip in the store the other day and said "hm, I've heard a lot about these, but never have cooked one." It was Choice and on sale for $2.99/lb, so why not?

Seasoned with Montreal Steak seasoning. Cooked in a similar fashion to how I do prime rib: Seared first on the sear station on the Weber, then flopped it on the DC @ 200° and pulled at an IT of 125°. Not too bad for the first go. Good flavor, but a bit tough.

Perhaps next time slice it a bit thinner, I prefer slicing it to about a 1/8" thickness.

There's a certain way to slice TT go look on YouTube for the best way and yes it does make a difference

If you look at the pics, you'll notice that I split the TT as you're supposed to, and the slices are cut against the grain.
