Tri tip Tacos

chainsaw19

Took a tri tip and seasoned it up with some DP fajita-ish. Got Egg to 750 and seared all sides. Threw in adjustable rig and stone to go indirect and let Egg cool down to 475 or thereabouts before putting the tri tip back on the grill. I took off grill when it hit135 internal temp. After a sort rest I sliced and cubed the beef. For toppings, I roasted some jalapeños and corn for some and combined with fresh tomato, onion, cilantro, s&p, and a bit of honey to make a delicious and somewhat spicy salsa. For tacos I topped the cubed tri tip with the corn salsa and some crumbled cojita cheese. <img

Damn! Bookmarked. I like how you think.

One question - did you pop in the AR and stone when the egg was still 700+? I have been worried about breaking the stone doing something like that. But if you've done that before without wrecking your stone, I guess its okay.

Thanks and no I let it come down a little before I threw in the rig, best guess was close to 575 and it came down the rest of the way pretty fast at that point.
