I don't get it. Tri-Tip, what's the fascination? Nothing special. I got a call for a possible catering gig where the customer requested Tri-Tip. I spoke with a couple of good cooks about this cut of meat and decided to give it a go. I was at costco picking up some brisket and steaks so I grabbed a Tri-Tip. I created a marinade of Beef Broth, Stubbs Original BBQ Sauce, Montreal Steak and Garlic Powder. I marinaded about 20 hours and put it on w/Cherry and Pecan at 240 till it hit 140 internal. I tented it on a rack and in 15 minutes it rose to 147. Thin sliced and in my opinion only marginally better than a Choice Sirloin or London Broil. Any ideas, hints, suggestions?
While at Costco I picked up a pkg. of "prime" RibEyes. Just for some additional flavor I dipped them in the same marinade, sprinkled on some Bovine Bold and tossed them on the grill. Half a chimney of briquettes and some cherry for flavor. After about 10 minutes per side (yes, they were thick) I served up the perfect medium rare steak. Lettuce and tomato got called a salad and dinner was served. My friend Julie enjoyed it, and llittle "Lightfoot" was looking on hungrily.
I also did a butt for PP last week, so I put a pic or two of that in here too. Hope you enjoyed the pron as I did the food. Thx for looking in.
