How long do you cook Tri Tip?

Can anyone let me know if you slow cook Tri Tip, or just do it on an open flame? And how long do you cook for?

    NO slow cook. Here is how I do them.

    Beef, Tri-Tip, Richard Fl


    INGREDIENTS:
    2 2 Lbs Each Tri-tips
    EVOO
    "Rub It Raw" Santa Maria Style BBQ Rub
    Mark, 321-267-0513, Titusville, Fl, "havanasltd@aol.com"
    Grilling Sauce:
    1/2 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
    1/2 Cup[ EVOO
    1 Tbs Garlic Powder
    1 Tbs Fresh ground Black Pepper




    Procedure:
    1 Sprinkled EVOO on tri-tips and then heavly coated with the rub on both sides. Set covered in glass dish in refrigerator for 6 hours. Took out about 2 hours before cook and left on counter to come to room temperature.
    BGE:
    1 Got the large BGE up to 650°F direct and seared the tri-tips 3 minutes per side. pulled off the BGE and tented with heavy duty aluminum foil. Set the BGE up for indirect with plate setter legs up and shut down vents until the temperature of BGE got to 400°F about 20-25minutes. The internal temperature was about 98° F when pulled and 109°f when placed back on the BGE. Placed tri-tips back on and marinated about every 5 minutes until it reached 125°F internal. Pulled and let rest for 15 minutes. Final internal temperature was 135°F. Medium
    2 The sauce used to cook was from "Morro Bay Rich" recipe for Santa Clara Tri-Tip. Thanks! http://eggsbythebay.com/Recipes.php


    Preparation time: 30 minutes

    Here is the recipe I use at the Eggs by the Bay Fest. NO one has complained yet.

    I usually start it between 400-500* and sear it on both sides for 2-3 minutes each. Then I let it cook 350-450 for about 15-20 minutes for medium-rare to medium.

    Bill,

    Can you give me instructions as to how you get this type of posting? I'd like to be able to put in "here it is" and have that point to the http site but haven't been able to accomplish the task yet.

    Thanks,
    Rich

    Hey Rich.

    I kinda taught myself how to do this. You hover you mouse over the url link and it will show you how it should look. Sorta like this

    [ url= http :/ /wwwdot......link of your choice dot com / here it is [ / url ]

    leave out all the spaces and convert dot to . and you should be good to go. I linked to the Whiz below

    below coppied is your post after the last bracket write here it is then hit the url button. you have the first half right, as mike said hover over the url for an example . N.B. that when you hit the url button the first time it shows 'url' in brackets and when you hit url the second time you get a forward slash then url in brackets if you do not have the beginning and end ones in the propper place it won't work ok i finally got it after several edits go back and look at your original post as i had to replace the [ with the words

    bracket was here url=http://www.eggsbythebay.com/Recipes.php bracket was here



    and if all that fails e-mail me and i will walk you thru it on the phone. it seeemd daunting to me at first and not it is just plain fun.
