Tri Tip Success Finally

After several attempts with little success, finally got this right!! SWMBO is away for the weekend , which allowed me to once again try a Tri Tip ( at $26-30 a piece here in Maryland, too much for mediocre results, which was all I was able to muster previously). Dry brined overnight, cooked indirect @ 250 until IT of 122 then reverse sear. Need to fine tune the rub and wood for smoke but turned out very tender and flavorful.

    That looks great. Even the small end appears to be cooked perfectly. I've only done two tri-tips and neither looked this good.

    You have a great piece of meat as well as the skill to cook it. Tri-tip is my favorite beef roast, and I finally realized sometimes the meat is just not up to par. It can be chewy and there's no way to tell before you cook it.

    Last time we sous-vided the tri-tip and then seared it. It melted in the mouth! I am going to try again and see if the result is the same, and the sous vide could be the reason. Not a real lab experiment, but after several more I'll know the answer.
