So, I finally found a tri tip at the local Kroger last Friday. I had so many plans I couldn't get to it until today. @Jeepster47‌ has been bustin my balls since Friday and tonight was the only day I could get it in this week. Tomorrrow is a no go because of kid commitments and Thursday will be my oldest son's (almost 13) inaugural cook on the egg. (stand by for that CI seared steaks coming up, his choice)

So, here's the tri tip:

cooked 400 raised direct to 105 ish and then let her rip and a couple of minutes a side. Rubbed with SPOG.

imageimage Overall impressions:

could have cooked it a little longer for my youngest's tastes

It is a nice cut and I can see why it would benefit from chimichuri

Fajitas are definitely on tap for the weekend

    Dude! NICE TRI TIP. FINALLY.

    All that meaty, juicy goodness, hope you enjoyed it. It can stand up to a lot of seasoning.
    Love you bro!

    @theyolksonyou ... thank you kind sir for sneaking it in between family duties.  @anton, @Legume and now your tri tip all look good.  Last month I didn't even know it existed and now I want to try one.  You guys are slave drivers.

    In your write-up you said; "It is a nice cut and I can see why it would benefit from chimichuri."  Is that as an after the fact seasoning or a marinate?  Why do you think it would add to the cook?

    "chimichiri" @theyolksonyou‌ are you from South Dakota by chance? Only people I have heard talk about that are from SD.

    If you mean chimichurri then that is different. Thats that like spicy greenish salsa or something.

    Maybe your purpose in life is only to serve as an example for others? - LPL

    @Jeepster47‌ that'd be a sauce after the cook. Also, maybe a marinade on the front end would be good. There was some fat on the outside, but it seemed fairly lean on the inside. With only the SPOG it was not real flavorful, but a nice cut. Similar to filet, it would benefit from a nice marinade or alternatively, a sauce. I like that you get different IT along the length so you can satisfy multiple tastes in diners.

    It's gonna make some fantastic leftovers in fajitas, or nachos, or tacos or.....

    The latter, I'm an engineer by training and can't spell for ****. I consulted my wife the English major, but she's on year 13 of maternity leave and can't spell anymore.

    As Eddie Murphy said in (I think Raw). "Shut up Eddie, you know how to spell it!" :D

    Thanks Jason ... just ignore Ozzie_Isaac he's been a pest for years and years.

    I am looking forward to doing a tri tip ... the leftover options look great.  If you like fajitas, try pulled pork as the meat one time ... maybe I'll have another convert.

    @Jeepster47‌ my degree is textile engineering. I work in floor covering.

    We do pulled pork in fajitas as well so no need to convert me. Mexican/ Tex Mex is a big part of the diet here in carpet land.

    Ok, so now marinate the next one in some spicy Bloody Mary mix for at least 24 hours and try that. Bam!
    Love you bro!

    Turns out you were more right than me. I was thinking chislik. That is a SD speciality.

    Don't listen to @Jeepster47‌ . He has tried ignoring me for years and I haven't gobe away. Heck he tried moving 2000 miles away and I still showed up.

    I will definitely play around with some more. This week just didn't work out. No time to marinade after the oldest decided he wanted control of the egg on Thursday. The rug rats are fortunate enough to have both sets of grands nearby and don't spend a lot of time at home on week ends.

     hey, bud...the     b is right next to the n on the keyboard so it was probably a slip of the wrist! Jamie and I have already conversed earlier today about missed strokes. Now with that cleared up, tell us more about you abandoning your offspring and not leaving a forwarding address when he came home from school? Poor tyke had to fend for himself for months is what I heard! LOL...BTW I'm still reeling from our busted CAT chops today! THAT was brutal and TOTALLY out of proportion.

    Very nice! I also liked that it was different thicknesses so everyone got some they liked. And it's definitely good with chim-chimney sauce.

    @RRP ... the only thing I can tell you is that version 2 (my grandson) is a vast improvement over the original version. 

    What he didn't tell you is that, yes he was left behind ... left behind in paradise.  Half of Canada winters over in Arizona, but NO he decides to return to the middle of Illinois.  Who, in their right mind, comes here for vacations?

    Staying on topic ... tri tips!

    Fantastic tri-tip dude, that's how you slice it, just keep turning and slicing. I only have 4 left from my cryopac, I have to space them out. @Walt2015, hasselhof tri-tip, that's great man!
