is Blowin Smoke!
I went to Shamrock Foods on Saturday and picked up a multi pack of tri-tip. took them out of the cryo-vac and individually vacuum sealed them. Ended up with 5 total. The wife forced me to cook one on Sunday and I was more than happy to oblige.
I did a pretty aggressive trim. I hope that was the right thing to do. Like I said, this was my first tri-tip. I did a search on here and it looks like most folks trim all of the fat off. Then I seasoned with OR Santa Maria. That was a perfect choice.

I did a reverse sear on it and when it reach 125 IT I pulled it of the Weber and got the coals nice and hot and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side.

I Removed the tri-tip from the smoker and let it rest a bit, and then sliced it up.

Final thoughts on Tri-Tip. I absolutely love tri-tip. This will be my next go to cut of meat. I love pork tenderloin, but this one now comes in a very close second. I think the more of these that I cook and adding some different flavors it could be my #1.
Thanks for looking
