Santa Maria Tri-Tip

I was disappointed with my last Tri-Tip, so I was extra careful on temp control this time. Did reverse sear at 325 grate until 125 IT, pulled, and seared a couple of minutes, pulling at 135 IT. Let rest 10 minutes.
Very pleased with results: tender, juicy and flavorful. I liked the spices and could really pick out the subtle flavor s from the Balsamic in the baste.
Served with simple tomato salad and fresh berries. Sorry, no plated photos.

Mmm... I've made Santa Maria Tri Tip before. Good stuff! Yours looks excellent!

Looks very nice, congrats. In my opinion the final vital part of a great tri tip cook is slicing properly. That's the difference between a chewy, stringy mess and tender awesomeness. It won't change the taste much, but will completely change the eating experience. Hope this was as good as it looks.Cheers-B_BFinally back in the Badger State!

Pictures look great!
You want to cut it in half, rotate each half 90 degrees or so, then slice against the grain.

I think so, maybe not quite 90....so it'll be even better next time around!

There is a very, very good rub recipe on www.eggsbythebay.com.
Open that web site, then click on the "recipes" or "Santa Maria Tri-Tip" button.
I've been using that one for about three years, and love it.
