my second tri-tip (and other special guests) - lots of pics

TRex · May 2007

<p />Max and I were on the same cosmic wavelength tonight. TRex Sr. and I cooked up a nice 2.5 pounder.[p]But first, thanks to Rick's inspiration, a little shrimp for an appetizer:[p][p]Marinated these for about an hour in an olive oil & garlic mixture. Theys wuz gooood.[p][p]And now, the main course. We used Morrow Bay Rich's Santa Maria style rub.[p]First, a nice sear.[p][p][p]After a 20-minute rest, roasted this puppy at around 375-400 for about 35 minutes to get to 125 internal. Basted a few times with a mixture of olive oil and red wine vinegar, per Morrow Bay Rich's recipe.[p]Rested in foil for 10 minutes and then sliced and served. Was a nice "chewy tender," just as Max described, and Rich's rub and basting sauce gave it a pleasing kick. Oh, and juuuuuicy![p][p]And why waste extra heat? Make grilled bananas![p][p]Didn't have any icecream, so whipped cream had to suffice.[p][p]Cheers everyone! Tomorrow: wings.[p]TRex

TRex,
You're killing me! I left SA at 1:30 this afternoon for a wedding in Waco tonight at 7:00. I just got home at 11:00, and am about to feast on a bowl of Wheaties. You're killing me. Them's some beautiful pics, My Friend.[p]Mike

TRex · May 2007

Thanks Mike. Hope you enjoyed the Wheaties![p]Jason

TRex · May 2007

Smokey,[p]Hey man, I can't cook like this at the apartment - that's why when I come home to Augusta my dad and I go nuts with the Egg.[p]If, however, you enjoy being covert, I'd be more than happy to have you over one night at the apartment so we can secretly cook under the cover of darkness and hope that the local Cobb County Grill Police don't come around the corner - LOL.[p]Cheers,[p]Jason

TRex · May 2007

Morro Bay Rich,[p]Thanks for the great recipe, Rich.[p]Jason
