Tri Tip with Pics

Just wanted to say thanks to everybody that posts on the forum. I've learned a lot from here and it has made a huge difference in my cooking endeavors. A few learned lessons for my first tri tip include: 1. Cut across the grain. (This was a little challenging because the grain of a tri tip runs in multiple directions) 2. Upgrade to a better thermo (used my new green ThermoPop tonight for the first time. Awesome). 3. Keep the seasoning simple with the tri tip. 4. Posted pics helped me figure out how I wanted to finish my tri tip without having to cut the meat. 5. The importance of resting the meat. ( usually I have a platter full of juice, tonight the juice stayed in the meat) This was the best piece of meat I've ever eaten.

    When I cooked this, I seared, then dropped the PS in and finished. I see lots of people on here do reverse sears. I've been looking for information on the advantage of the reverse sear, but all I'm finding is techniques. Just seems so much easier than trying to guess the finished product with the reverse sear. Maybe it's not guessing, just a learning curve. Anyway, I know there are probably tons of discussions on here about the advantages on the reverse sear. Can someone help me out?

    The cool looks awesome. Last month when I was up in Casper I went on a search for tri tip and people looked at me like I steeped of a space ship. Where did you find it up there?

    I got it in a local butcher shop in Sheridan that buys/sells local meat. Sheridan is about 2 hours North of Casper. First time I've seen them here other than on some of the restaurant menus. Never tried it until this cook. I'll definitely be cooking more. I liked it better than most of the popular steaks like rib-eyes and T-bones.

    I am going to do a reverse sear today to try and get some more oak smoke into the meat.
