Caveman Spinacino
Paolo
Posts: 187
I’ve been wanting to give the caveman style a try for a while, and I was inspired by the recent post from @lousubcap and the follow-up from @Stormbringer.
So today I gave it a go on a piece of what we call Spinacino, the italian equivalent of tri-tip if I'm not mistaken.
Well, It was a speed cook with very satisfying results!
Fired the egg and went indirect at 250 F until 120 F internal (I remembered to flip the meat with grease side up after taking the photo).

Reached target temp in about 1 hour.

Went caveman for just a few seconds per side.

And here's the final result, no coals sticking!

As usual not everibody loves meat so I did some cuttlefish and pumpking on the gas grill.

Have a great Sunday, everyone!

I’m ashamed to say that this went down with just water! It was certainly deserving a decent glass of red wineFoghorn said:Wow. Great cook and post. Did you have a superTuscan with it?

Way to make it happen and with outstanding results. Never a doubt given your prowess.
Nailed the entire cook.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint. -
Thanks everyone, glad you enjoyed the post!
Now I can fully appreciate why tri-tip is such a popular cut. It's flavourful, tender and also extremely cost-effective compared to other options. This won't be left as an isolated experiment! -
Once again you nailed it 👍-----------------------------------------------------------------------
