1st Reverse Sear Tri Tip

in Beef
Last time I just roasted it at 525 indirect and it was incredible.  This time I'm smoking it at 350 indirect with oak until it hits 120 IT.  Then I'll go direct at 700 for 90 sec per side for medium.  If anybody has any pointers, as this is my first time, please let me know.  It's already on the egg (sorry, too much going on so no pics - will pic when I take it off after the roast and thereafter).

The Dude: This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, limber.

Walter Sobchak: Nihilists! *uck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

    I did it exactly as described above.  Screw the 525 roast.  This wins 1000 times over.  1st pic is after the roast @ 350.

    This is one of my favorite cooks now that I have located a market that will carry Tri-tips.  Yours looks great.

    Yep, once you start reverse searing lean cuts, there is no other way. Nice work!

    Looks good! Interesting. May have to try those temps at some point. When I do reverse sear, I usually go much lower to start with (225-250), but your results photo looks tempting.

    The oak was a beautiful compliment.  All I used to season was fresh cracked Himalayan pink salt and pepper.  Wonderful.
