Santa Maria Tri-Tip Pron

[westy]

Finally had a chance to cook up this Tri-tip after a few delays. 4 pounds and untrimmed. Girlfriend sick and watching some kind of Sex in the City marathon with her friend. Cooking today wasn't my first choice at 101 degrees, a bit windy and humid as heck. So? Tend a bitchee fire covered in sweat, smoke and ash...or a 3 hour barrage of Carrie Bradshaw.:faint: Cooked over Oak and Orange wood that was still a bit green, but after it cooked down it was fine. Just the traditional salt, pepper, and garlic. Took about and hour. Real tasty. Yeah, I know a couple slices are cut with the grain. Long story.

I highly reccommend it. If you can find it untrimmed, give it a try. Bucc says he doesnt see them anywhere where you are. Maybe a butcher.

Looking mighty great!

That's awesome looking.

It is pretty amazing the difference between the slices with the grain and the slices in the background against the grain. Shows just how much of a difference it makes in presentation alone.
