tri-tip appreciation thread

[ttkt57]

This thread is dedicated to all things tri-tip--what you like about it, how you cook it, what you eat it with, etc. This weekend I couldn't decide whether I wanted it with chimichurri or on a tortilla with fresh pico de gallo, avocado, cilantro, and lime.

So I did both!

I love some tri-tip too. Bought a pair at my local Costco today. Grill on my performer most times. Delicious!

Its only been the last 2 years my local grocery has been selling Tri Tip. Its not cheap either $7.99/lb but at least they are trimmed pretty well.

Reverse sear:

Mine was reverse seared too. Forgot to say so in my OP.

Seasoned with coarse pepper, kosher salt and Lawry's, slow cooked at 250°F in the Outlaw pellet cooker until internal temp was 125°F, then seared over B & B lump charcoal on the PK300.

Should have seared it a little less (that's what happens when you try to cook and take pictures at the same time!) but it still tasted great in those tortilla shells and with the chimichurri.

Whether I do a direct hot-n-fast cook, or a 6-hour 133° sous vide with a direct sear.... tri-tip is one of my favorite cuts.

Love me some tri tip. Past cooks at home & at Brethren Bashes.

And we can't forget this one. Although someone mentioned it's a one tip.

My son had to get in on this:

When I lived in SoCal, Tri-Tip was my favorite beef cut. Been cooking a lot of chuckeyes lately, but this thread is a good reminder I need to pull out some of the TriTips I have in the freezer and get to cooking them!

Tri tip is awesome. My favorite ways to cook it are Seared and finish indirect, on the santa maria grill or in the smoker and reverse seared. Please just don't put it in the oven!
