Ok West Coast homos...

Postby DeadEye_Dan » Mon Jun 16, 2014 1:16 pm

Talk to me about the Tri-Tip.


Never cooked one before, and never ever see them here.
Just popped into a new meat market that opened about 2 months ago and they had dozens of them, so I snagged one.

What do I need to know? Does it cook like brisket? Or more like a roast??

More like a big steak. I usually get one about 3#. I usually start over hot coals like a steak, crust both sides then move away from direct heat, let it finish to 135°.

Yup. I buy the untrimmed kind and leave a thin layer of fat on one side and basically cook it like jarbo said. The way I do it the fat melts in like a brisket.

Seeing that I'm not a west coast homo, I hope it's ok that I posted.

Let me know if you want some Pop's secret sauce to marinate with. Like jarbo said, I usually cook like a big steak but I have done one in the oven like a roast. Prefer the grill though. I dont get fancy and cook for temps like you guys but I try to keep the grill around 375° and cook 15 minutes per pound then rest for 10 minutes before slicing, med-well on the ends and more med in the middle.

I dont know how those akorns cook, but watch for flare ups when the fat side starts to render.

Tri tip sounds awesome. I see it all the time on the bbq forums. Nowhere to be found down south though. Maybe ill have to order some off the line.

Its strange to me that you cant get one from a good butcher shop - every cow has 2

Where does it come from on a cow?
It might be lumped in with another cut of meat.

Here is how the Akorns cook.

(Or any Kamado really, I just ran it up to 400, closed off the dampers and snuffed out the flames, nothing for it to flare up on and I'm still sitting at 390 after the flip)

every time i have had it, it was grilled like a big steak. tastes damn fine too as long as it wasnt a grass finished steer...YUCK
i have never seen one in a store in the midwest,but when i butcher i started to save the tri tip before i always ground it into burger.

how did it turn out Dan? there is a new steak cut out the last few years they are calling it the vegas strip steak(part of the chuck) :roll:

Needs another 15-20 on the rack, and apparently it needs to stand 10-15 minutes.

Well from a little google research it's the bottom part of a sirloin. I believe that I have seen what it's called a "bottom sirloin" in grocery stores around here. Worth a look definitely. Probly gonna go around to the local grocery stores and check it out tonight. My buddies step dad is a butcher so I might just ask him too.

Personally I'd foil that thing while it stands.
So much heat loss letting a steak "rest" or "stand" I prefer my steaks medium, yet piping hot.

My tri tip is medium on the ends and medium rare to rare in the center.
