Freezer Score! (tri tip)

digging through my freezer yesterday I found all kinds of good things that've been buried for months.....wings, deli pastrami (1# chunks I didn't run through the slicer before freezing), a couple other interesting finds, and of course, this tri-tip from 11/2016. I put it in the meat drawer yesterday and it was still frozen this morning so I put it on a wire rack on the counter today & let it defrost. After it'd thawed I hit both sides with SPOG, then back into the fridge.

I went for a bit of a hike, made it 3/4 of the way there & said F it (lifting cost me endurance), headed home (left the ignition on my bike on for >2 hours while I was gone, had to bump start it when I left)

The Sundial is visible just to the right of the left-most knob

looks warmed up enough for me:

gratuitous foot shot (calf was kissed by a hot pipe today - my old callous must've worn off)

I forgot about the reverse sear. I seared 3 minutes per side to start, then 10 minutes indirect, flipped, 5 minutes indirect, then direct 5 minutes on one side & this is what it said so I brought it in:

a little overdone but damn good, if I do say so myself. I wouldn't complain if I didn't check it with a thermometer after the tented rest (141F)

Not my favorite brew, and definitely not a good idea to drink a multi-vitamin with it (yesterday - yuck). Good dinner though - good french bread too.

Awesome cook, Clint. Bud light isn't my favorite either, but it has the advantage of coming in cases, which is great for when you need 20 or so of them.
 
Clint, nice TT cook! I have some in the freezer also, time to get 1 or 2 of 'em out. Not much longer and those peaks will be covered in white again! I've been to several of the resorts around you, but not in a quite a few years. My Wife used to have to go to corporate meetings and training in SLC. She liked me to travel with her, so I would head up to the mountains while she was busy!

There was a foot of snow in my dreams last night :)

I'll be skiing mostly at Snowbird this year, I got my pass on June 6, the day they went on sale :) I'd like to do some backcountry but I doubt I'll be doing anything too exciting this year.

a couple of videos from fb for your enjoyment:
