After Work Tri Tip

The inspiration for this meal came from Steven Raichlen's book Barbecue USA, page 184, Santa Maria Tri Tip. I love how you can make some really good barbecue when you don't have all day to fuss with it.
Here are the tri tips in the rub from the recipe.

Here is my attempt at a two zone fire to cook the meat.

I started the steaks on the hot side. I know a lot of folks say only flip the meat once but I flipped these probably a dozen time as I moved them through the heat zones.

The book calls for ten minutes a side. That must be for open fire Santa Maria cookers. With the closed lid weber method total cook time was 27 minutes.

Kim made some salsa from the recipe and some garlic bread she makes.

Plated pic. The beans are Bush's. The salad was Kim's on the fly creation. Pineapple, papaya, blue cheese, walnut, red onion on a bed of bed of baby greens, huckleberry dressing. It was wonderful.

Everything turned out great. What a great meal for a Wednesday night , thanks for looking and have a great downhill end to the week!
 
That looks outstanding. Interested in how pineapple and bleu cheese were together in that salad. Great stuff on the fly, man!
 
Real nice TT, everything else looks great too! Were you tempted to put the sour dough bread on the BBQ? That's a challenge, LOL
 
John,
It was the rub recipe with the tri tip from Raichlen's book.

I did wrap the bread in foil and put on the grill for 12 minutes

It was New Belgium Summer Helles. Very tasty!
