Today, I picked up a nice tri-tip. I hve never cooked a tri-tip, but have heard that it can be a great cut of meat. My dilemma is that I some people I have spoken with recommend dry rub only, while others recomment dry rub and a mopping sauce, and others recommend marinading. Therefore, I come to you guys seeking and advice or experience you ahve concernint cooking tri-tip. I will make sure and let you guys know how the cook turns out with pics.

Morro Bay Rich makes this at the EBTB and comes out great:
EGGFEST 2006-2007-2008-2009
Santa Maria Style Tri-tip
Richard Miller aka Morro Bay Rich
Morro Bay, CA
2 (3 pound) tri-tip roasts
Basting Sauce, recipe follows
Seasoning Salt Mixture: recipe follows
Seasoning Salt Mixture:
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons white pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 tablespoons granulated garlic
6 tablespoons salt
Mix together all ingredients in a small bowl
Basting Sauce:
½ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup garlic-infused vegetable oil
Whisk together vinegar and oil in a small bowl.
Coat both sides of the tri-tip roasts with the seasoning mixture, rubbing it in as you would a dry rub. Let the seasoned tri-tip rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. Sear each side of the tri-tip at 600 to 700 degrees for 3 to 4 minutes each. Remove seared tri-tip from the BGE, cover it with foil and let it rest while bringing the BGE temperature down to 350 to 400 degrees. During this cool down period I usually toss in a couple of oak chunks. Put tri-tip back in the BGE and cook to an internal temperature of 126 degrees for medium rare, basting with the sauce every 5 to 10 minutes. Remove tri-tip from the BGE, cover it with foil and let it rest 15 minutes. Cut into ½” slices against the grain.
This recipe is from Foodnetwork.com’s website. It is titled “Santa Maria Style BBQ” Oakwood Grilled Tri-tip. It is as close to authentic Santa Maria tri-tip as I have been able to find.
I usually cook this on a Large BGE and find it take 1 hour and 10 minutes from the time I strike the match to taking the tri-tip out of the BGE. -
Thanks Boxerpapa, I appreciate it.

Little Chef taught me a great simple method. Marinate in red wine for 1+ hours and then salt and pepper. Cook on a raised grid at 400 dome, turning at least twice, till your meat hits 120-122 and then tent under foil for 10 minutes. slice on the bias or against the grain and it's so tender. I've done 3 in the past week and a half and they all got great reviews.

TRI TIP POST FROM SATURDAY
Beef Tri-Tip1 - The story behind Tri Tip Beef (a.k.a. Triangle Roast): This cut of meat is limited in availability because there is only one per side of beef. Therefore it is typically ground into hamburger or cut into cubes and sold as soup meat. This often over looked piece of meat is not only relatively inexpensive but also very flavorful and has become a favorite amongst the few in the know. The tri-tip roast or steak (also called a triangle roast) is the 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 pounds of meat that sits at the bottom of the sirloin. It has great flavor and tends to be much lower in fat than most cuts of beef i.e., it's a good lean cut of beef.
The thing to remember is that lean also means it will dry out faster so it is recommended that you prepare with a good marinade &/or Rub. Particularly good flavors for tri-tip are Southwestern or Asian. Because tri-tip is lean, be careful not to overcook it, particularly when preparing the full roast. Medium is as far as you should go with this cut. Use a meat thermometer to monitor often during cooking. If you are used to grilling other cuts, this one can throw some grillers off by appearing underdone when it is ready to serve and by the amount it ‘swells’ when cooked.
Santa Maria/Grilled Soy Lime Style – This simple tri tip recipe utilizes a hybrid marinade that is loosely based on a combination of spices picked up from two different recipes. It was slightly adjusted from the original posted a few weeks ago, but only slightly.
Ingredients:• 2-3 Lb. Tri-tip roast (ORGANIC)
• Paul Prudhomme’s Magic Seasoning Blends – Meat Magic
Seasoning Marinade:
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground 4-color pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 Tbls. Garlic powder
• 2 Tbls. Sea Salt (fresh ground)
• 1 ½ Cups Apple Juice (100% pure juice)
• ¼ Cup Soy Sauce (low sodium)
• 2 ½ Tsp. Lime Juice
• 1 Tbls. Red Pepper Flakes
• 2 Tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper
• ½ Tsp. Fresh Ground Ginger Root
• Optional: Corn Syrup or Honey (3 Tbls.)
Basting Sauce: • ½ cup red wine vinegar
• ½ cup vegetable oil (or EVOO) (add garlic powder if you can’t find garlic infused oil)
Preparation and cooking:
1. Mix together all marinade ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the tri tip in a 1 gallon freezer bag. Place in refrigerator for 4-8 hours turning occasionally.
2. Whisk basting sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside for basting.
3. Lightly oil your cooking grid and fire up BGE to T-Rex. Remove from Marinade and pat dry. Rub each side with Paul Prudhomme’s Meat Magic then sear the tri-tip at 600 to 700 degrees for 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Remove seared tri-tip from the BGE, cover it with foil and let it rest while bringing the BGE temperature down to 350 to 400 degrees. Option: During this cool down period consider adding a few oak chunks to your lump.
5. Now set up BGE for Indirect cooking (plate setter) and return the tri-tip back in the BGE and cook to an internal temperature of 125-130 degrees (approximately 35 minutes) for medium rare, basting with the sauce every 5 to 10 minutes (optional).
6. Return the tri-tip back into the BGE and cook to an internal temperature of 125-130 degrees, basting every 5 to 10 minutes.
7. Remove tri-tip from the BGE, cover it with foil and let it rest 15 minutes; to serve cut into ½” slices against the grain.2

Roll Tide....I like mine marinated in a good red wine, with a ton of garlic, salt and pepper. (Yeah...my"go to" marinade.....but SO good) Keep it simple. If this is your first tri-tip, you may consider just S&P so you can truly get the flavor of the meat. Marinade doesn't tenderize really....just adds flavor to the outer 1/8" of the meat. Cook to 5-8* less than your desired temp, and allow a rest. Then carve across the grain. Very flavorful cut. Enjoy!
ps....Roll Tide??? Ummmm....GO GATORS!!!! :woohoo: -
Tri tip is one of my favorite summer cuts, easy to prep, good price and feeds a few people, also great in sandwiches as leftovers. Remember tri tip is a piece of sirloin, I always sear over high heat pull off the egg, stabilize at 350-400 and roast indirect until 126 deg. internal. The morrow bay Rich method is a classic, I usually just hit it with beef rub (no sugar) and onto the egg. This cut also does well marinated as well. Good Luck.

Thanks for the advice on the cook. I have really thought about keepin the cook very simple like only s&p to enjoy the meat and flavor of the cut. As far as the Gator comment, I'll let that slide this time....lol I figure we'll see you guys twice this season since we're in season rotation. ROLL TIDE ROLL!

well I do mine naked, mostly, maybe a sprinkle of some seasoning like Stubbs, then I slow cook it indirect at 250 dome till it gets to about 125, then I remove it and the indirect setup and bring the Egg to sear temps, then sear the meat and away we go.
