I like hot and fast. I cook them kinda like a steak to @125-130. Rest and then slice thin. Temp is a preference I go at @ 400- 450. Good hard sear/crust and mid rare in the middle. Good luck

I'm from centeral Calif. and cook tri tip regularly. Raised indirect at 400 until internal temperature is 135, then pull the plate setter and reverse sear for 5 minutes each side. Be sure to carve against the grain (it runs in 2 different directions). We like ours on the medium side of medium rare so adjust the internal temp to suit your taste.

A friend of mine in LA clued me in to Tri Tip. Now that I've found a local store that stocks them regularly, I cook them quite a bit.
I've even marinaded them before in a worcestershire, garlic mix. I cook them like a steak. Medium rare on the inside and a nice crust on the exterior. Remember, slice it across the grain in thin slices, DO NOT slice with the grain.
You'll be fine.

Reverse sear works well for me.

Another SoCaler here, grew up cooking and eating tri-tip. Very much agree with reverse sear, cook it like a big steak.Alternatively, do what I've been doing lately an cook it Travis Style. Between the beef, the jus, and the onion I can ask but guarantee you will be the victor.Tri-tip is a delicious and underutilized cut, but it can be tough as nails if not sliced correctly. I strongly recommend serving with garlic French bread (preferably sour dough) if at all possible.Have fun, post pics, and enjoy!CheersB_BFinally back in the Badger State!

Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

I grew up on tri-tip and agree that the reverse sear works well, slice across the grain. In Central Cal, the 'Home' of tri-tip they cook over red oak. I don't get to fancy with tri-tip, just a simple rub, maybe put some sliced garlic in pockets made with a pairing knife.Simi Valley, California
