Tri-tip success. (pics)

Finally found a local store to get quality cuts of tri-tip and wanted to have a go at Egging one.
Bought a three pounder that I marinated for 24 hours in a combo of worcestershire, soy, honey, mustard, garlic and black pepper.
Set my XL Egg up with all the WGWW lump in the right side of the firebox. Wanted to try out some baked potatoes on the Egg as well. Placed those opposite the coals at about 350 degrees and started them about an hour before I planned on adding the tri-tip.
Pulled the tt out of the fridge and wiped off the marinade and dry rubbed it and left it out to come up to room temp.
Added the tt to the grill on the lump side and seared each side for a couple minutes each. Then placed it opposite the coals to finish the cook. Pulled it at medium and and devoured. Baked potatoes turned out perfect as well.
I want to do another one today! Possibly the best meal I've made on the Egg yet!

Nice bark!

Good looking cook. I use the same cooking process, but all I do is season with some Santa Maria rub about an hour before the TT hits the BGE.

I am a fan of tri tip, but you know what made me like it even more? I cut the slices almost lunchmeat thin, as thin as I can without a slicer, and I really like it that way. I recommend giving it a shot and seeing if you like it - nothing wrong with slicing thicker, just my personal preference and I am putting it out there to see if anyone else might like it just the same.

Good look tri tip, love it. I also use Susie Q's Santa Maria rub on mine. Some time you should try the Santa Maria style pinquito beans with it I think you will like it.

I'm with you in liking it sliced thin against the grain.
Nice job on yours YEMTrey.

Guys who haven't made tri tip yet, I suggest searching R2Egg2Q's recipe out. My favorite way of making tri tip. Reverse searing. I roast mine until about 110 and then sear until 135. I did that with some tbones last night.

Perfection! I would suggest you guys who love tri tip to try dry white wine and good italian dressing in an equal ratio, sliced limes, and crushed garlic to marinate the fat capped tri tip for three days. Sear it at high heat to give it a nice bark on the both sides then go slow to get it to your preference temperature of how cooked it is. It goes great with the mexican rice, salsa, chili beans, and tortillas.
