Jh, I am sure that you have a Costco or Sam's Club. The Tri-Tips they have are niced size and come in a double pack (2) one for later or throw them both on and then freeze the extra one after cooking.[p]Marv

Hi Marv ,[p]I bought a small (1 1/2 lb) tri-tip roast last week. I didn't know how to cook it, but the butcher said I could grill it. I prepared and cooked it as I would a steak. I found it on the tough side and not as flavorful as other cuts of beef. How should tri-tip be cooked? Is it one of those low and slow candidates?[p]Ellen

Ellen aka Gormay, I love Tri-Tip, I cook it in the egg and on my catering rig. Yes, to make it more tender, you need to cook slower. I slice in half leaving a hinge on one side.
Then spread horseraddish all over it and sprinkle a little season salt on it.
Then tie with cotton twine and rub the out side with favorite rub.
Cook indirect until internal temp reaches 140.
Slice thin across the grain.
If any left over, I use for french dip sandwhiches the next day. [p]Marv
For the french dip, I like to slice the meat REAL thin, pile high with thinly sliced onion, on a butter, toasted simi-hard hogie roll.

Dang Marv, that sounds gooooood!
A smoked french dip with some fries on the side would go down really easy precisely now.
What do you use or how do you make the 'dip'?
Anything planned for the grill today?

WooDoggies, I just use the comercial brand of dip. It is the foil pack that you mix with water and heat. (helps to mix with warm water first then heat to desired temp).
No egg cooking today, might grill a Keilbasa on the Jenairre for dinner.[p]Marv

Dear Marv ,[p]Thanks for the cooking instructions on tri-tip. Next time it is on sale, I will give it another go.[p]I had a Jennaire cooktop for many years. I bought it for the downdraft since the steam from cooking was ruining my upper wooden cabinets. Unfortunately, the downdraft was not powerful enough to redirect the steam from tall pots. When we remodeled the kitchen, the old counter containing the cooktop and oven fit perfectly on my patio.The Jennaire became "The Grill", but that was in "BE"(Before Egg). Now the Big Boy reigns supreme. (He keeps asking for a little sister :-)[p]E.
