Couple of Tri-tip

eggaholic

<p />Did these a little different than i've been doing.
Left the 1/4 fat cap on. (won't do that again) waist of rub since i removed the fat after cooking.
Instead of searing first smoked using Pecan @200-230 for 1 & 1/2hrs. then seared at 650-700 (will do again).
Used DP Rasin the Steaks was great (go figure).[p][p]

<p />eggaholic,[p]Nice pictures!!! There is nothing wrong with barbecuing them with an end sear, I think they come out just great that way. I see you were working on finding the right slicing angle, which is good, it can be tricky as the grain changes from one end to the other.[p]PS, I got a deal on tri-tip today.[p]~thirdeye~

thirdeye,
Mine was $3.79lb. but weighed nearly 4lbs.
Was the scale broken on yours or did it really weigh .20lb.

eggaholic,[p]Something was not right, like the decimal point(s). I was actually too busy selecting 3 of them that looked the same so they would cook about the same, that I didn't notice the price on that one. [p]~thirdeye~

Sigmore

thirdeye, That one would be the hollow one.
