Yesterdays Cooks - Tri Tip, then Dessert

Decided to put some Tri Tip in a marinade Friday night. Marinade was:
2 garlic cloves minced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup spiced rum
Cooked them indirect at 350 until internal was around 120-130 and pulled them. Wrapped in foil and rested about 10-15 minutes. They were then seared direct for about 12-14 minutes until internal reached about 150. Let them rest another 10 minutes and were sliced.
After I took the meat off for a rest I dropped the egg temp down to about 325 and cooked some dessert. Caramel pecan rolls for 50 minutes. Came off shortly after dinner. A bit of vanilla bean ice cream and these were great!

How'd that marinade work out on the tri tip? Sounds good. I've been eyeing up the tri tip at Costco.Dunedin, FL

I have heard from a butcher that the Tri-Tip was a tough piece of meat? can anyone chime in on this? I have been shying away from this for that reason...

Its a chewier cut. But has more flavor than most other cuts on the cow. I'd rather have more flavor and chew a bit more than eat something that has no beef flavor. But that's just me. The filet is worst cut on the cow. Period. Its flavorless.Its kind of like a Butchers cut. That cut is showing up now in more high end restaurants. They serve it sliced because if its not cut against the grain its too chewy. But its still a chewy piece regardless. And has the best flavor IMO of any other cut behind the tri tip. And at the price you can get tri tip at its a no brainer for me personally.I have no doubt many will disagree with me on this one. But take a look at the menu of some locally owned higher end places around you if you have them. They all prefer a cut like a butcher cut over a filet any day. There's a reason for that.Anyway, just my .02-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Strongsville, OhioYes. I own a blue egg!

@black_badger yep. It's pulled at about 150 internal and rested about 10-12 minutes. What does it look like?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Strongsville, OhioYes. I own a blue egg!

Love me some Tri-Tip on the egg, most underrated cut of neat that turns out money every time!
-
@fiver29 Thanks, I forgot to ask you for it at the eggfest.
-
Don't get me wrong it looks perfect, but I'd always figured ~ 135 for medium rare and I would have guessed that was about 125 - 130.I reverse seared 6 tri tips this weekend and they turned out great. Hugely underappreciated cut!Finally back in the Badger State!
Middleton, WI -
@black_badger Wow. That's a huge difference. I used a digiq and pulled them around 120-130 using that before doing the sear. I seared them at a high temp for at least 12 minutes total time before pulling it. Yeah, it was around 150 on 3 different cuts so I pulled them all.I agree. Its a great cut. Worth every penny!!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Strongsville, OhioYes. I own a blue egg!
