Looking for a killer Tri Tip recipe

Recommended Posts

Those are some really nice looking Choice Tips and the price is right.

 

Oak Ridge Santa Maria rub or SPOG and cook indirect around 250* until internal temp is around 120*, then ramp up the heat and flip the top grate over the coals and sear for 3-5 mins a side, form that nice char. Don't let it go over 130*

 

Remember to slice against the grain and on the bias. I love this cut, best beef flavor!!!

I'm a big Santa Maria style for tri-tips. I use Oakridge BBQ's Santa Maria rub. Killer! Also, why I try and keep some red oak around. I'm currently out, so need to order more from Fruita. I typically use the splits. 

Dozer's cooking tips are spot on - medium rare is the way to go. It is also amenable to reverse searing. I've done both techniques with equal success.

Costco tri-tips are very consistent.   I've seen "Prime" grade tri-tips at Costco on occasion but usually the less expensive "Choice" grade has at least or often times more fat marbling than their Prime grade.  

I've cooked them a myriad of ways but prefer simple kosher salt & fresh course ground black pepper and hot smoke grilled over cocochar lump with Red Oak chunks (Santa Maria style).   I pull them when they get to 125F internal and then tent very loosely with foil for a minimum 15-minute rest ... 20-minutes is even better.
