Tri Tip and Skirt Steak pr0n

[Azinine]

I didn't think it was possible but I've been Queing so much over the past 2 months that I'm actually tired of it! :-D So, this weekend I fired up the kettle and made tri tip one evening and skirt steak the next.

I rubbed the tri tip with the Santa Maria rub that Thirdeye has posted in the past. Grilled directly for about 15 minutes, turning often, until internal temp was 135. I let it rest for 10 minutes and then sliced against the grain. It turned out pretty good. I would have prefered it to be slightly less done but it was still darn tasty.

Next was the skirt steak. I used Alton Brown's marinade (minus the scallions and plus worcestershire) and it was awesome. Marinated for about 4 hours and then grilled over HOT coals for about 2 minutes per side. Let it reast for 10 minutes and then sliced thin against the grain. Again, it was a little too done for my tastes but I still enjoyed it.

Well they both look dam* good to me! What do you get tri tips down there for /lb? And about how much do they weigh? Mine I have been getting have only been 2 lbs or less.

 

[Azinine]

Thanks!

Mine was right at 2lbs. The price was too high... Either $6 or $7 per pound. I can't quite remember. It's rare that I can find them at all so, when I do, I'll shell out the dough.

Where have you been getting them Bow?

I've heard Costco has them, Sams is hit and miss. And if you havn't been, go to Hirsch's in Plano. Great butcher shop. And tri tips are on sale this week. Let me know if you want me to forward their mailing. It also has a printable coupon.

Ty, I have never seen them at Sam's, and don't go to Costco. I have bene getting them at YeoldbutcherShop in plano...east side. Kind of a drive. I like the guy and there is a great Farmers Market across the street.

He has been charging me 6.49 or 6.99 for the tri tips.

Yeah, please do send me the mailing....This place is closer, and I will go check it out. Thanks!

That's ok..I just found and subscribed to the newsletter. $4.99 /lb though for tri-tips...I am there!!

Try the Jollypeno sausage while you are at Hirsch's. Thanks to BRD for letting me know about that place! I try to stop in there every time I'm over there now.

I was getting some spicy hot links at the other butchers, but I see this place has some smoked and raw if you want to smoke your own.

Thx...will pick some up

Got my Father's day present today. An orange Thermapen. Think i need to make a run to Hirsch's an grab a tri-tip to test it on.

BTW, Sam's had a display (& samples) of Slovacek's sausages(just started stocking them at the Plano store) & the jalapeno/cheese summer sausage is good chit, Maynard. I'll grab some jollypeno from Hirsch's & do a side by side comparison.

Cool. Maybe your tri-tip won't be overcooked like mine was...

I want a thermapen. A blue one, of course...

 

[Norcoredneck]

Ah Tri- tip the quick brisket!

They were at the Grapevine location also. Also picked up a pack of their garlic sausage that I havn't seen before.
