LarryR Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 My butcher has been stocking Prime Grade Tri-tips lately and for $4.99 how can you pass these babies up? Very rich, silky with that great beefy tri-tip flavor. I go indirect (you can see my deflector in one of my pictures) around 300 on these as they're so well marbled I like to melt some of the fat. I use a single piece of red wine oak cask stave about the size of a deck of cards and it adds great flavor, smells awesome too. Didn't sear either of these, I typically do a reverse sear but had additional meat to throw on the grill after both these cooks. Easier to see the killer marbling this morning when I was slicing for sandwiches
tnt Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 Larry, They look GREAT !!! I am interested in trying a tri-tip on the KK but I had no idea of the temp. So how long did they take at 300 ?? Tony
T Rex Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 OUTSTANDING Hey Larr, OUTSTANDING,......... Thanks for the pics. T Rex
LarryR Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Posted September 19, 2010 So how long did they take at 300 ?? If memory serves me correctly (I was enjoying Tanq. and Tonics and Cab) she took about 1:20. She was just under 4 lbs and I pulled her when the center at the thickest point was around 125 and let her rest for about 10 min under foil. On the choice cuts I go 325 - 350.
slu Posted September 20, 2010 Report Posted September 20, 2010 I'm Hungry Again! The meat looks great! I need to meet your butcher!
primeats Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Great pics Larry, and I'm jealous of the price! I have to get 5.89lb. for these!
DennisLinkletter Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Keep them as our standard go to sliced meat.. Looks so good.. I've cooked up about 15 Tri's in the last two months.. Keep them as our standard go to sliced meat in the fridge.. Great to drop into a bowl of Udon noodles too.. I just pulled another wanna be (Indonesian) Wagyū Tri out of the freezer..
