Tale of Two Tri-Tips

in EggHead Forum
Picked up two tri-tips from our local Wild Fork.  Seasoned on with a Cajun blend (picked up at local Ace), the other with Bearded Butcher Black.  If you've not heard of the Bearded Butchers, you need to hop on over to You Tube (https://www.youtube.com/@TheBeardedButchers).  Excellent ideas to be found there. The Black is based on coffee and molasses. Low-n-slowed over indirect heat to 120 degrees, then brought the egg up to 500 to sear.  Couldn't believe how juicy they turned out.

    That is how the $$ shot should be presented.  Great finish.
    Which rub did you prefer?

    Yep-whatever method you guys are using definitely works.  Great finish right there @danhoo.

    Briwald, forgive the rookie question did you sear with the lid open? These look wonderful by the way!

    Nah, two minutes on each side, grill closed. I do want to try the whole caveman thing and sear directly on the coals at some point.  So far, I've been too chicken to try it.

    Loved both of them, just completely different flavor profiles.  I would give a slight edge to the cajun just because I like a little zing, but the black has a wonderful dark "manly" flavor.

    No reason to change!
    Some of the best looking tips I’ve seen.

    I tagged on to @briwald post, but I'll recommend the CGS drop spider and HD stainless grid. 

    I put the drop spider under the PS woo and it's ready AND hot for a finish sear.
