stock up on Tri Tip

[Jim Lampe]

a few weeks ago i was shocked a local butcher had tri tip, as this is the first time ever for them.
so i bought one, grilled it up and thought about it ever since.
Last Friday after work, i returned to get more.
They actually sold me the whole Cryo-vac bag at a reduced price (2 bucks less per pound)
This bag had 5 tri tips inside. Nearly 18 lbs. The smallest weighed in at 3.3lb, the largest at 3.98lb.

i vacuum sealed four on them then seasoned one for Friday night's dinner.

I opted for the smallest one for dinner.

Seasoned with the basic: salt pepper onion and garlic powder and a touch of Cayenne
Tossed the tip on a hot grill to sear...

...then indirect to finish...

After a 15 minute rest, it was sliced.

Friday night's dinner consisted of Spaghetti Squash (my favourite)
with iron skillet baked Yukons topped with sautéed garden leeks and Poblano peppers.

Dinner was Great! And these tri's seem like the best tasting tri's I've ever had.
Thank you for stoppin' by!

Cant see any of the pictures Jim.

OK at this end Look great.

For interest sake, how much /lb was regular price?
With the squash: just butter, s&p?

Sounds delicious - I can't see the pictures either for some reason.

I have never seen a tri-tip for sale. I may need to order one.

Pictures are fine here. That is a wonderful looking dinner. TT is one of my favorites. Have a prime TT in the freezer now. Were those prime or choice?

 

[Jim Lampe]

sorry about that screw up folks... i hope the photos are now visible.

another reason i do not post cooks too often.... ever since Google changed their SIMPLE Picasa to whatever they have now...
just a P. I. M. A. .

reg price was 7.99, got them for 5.99lb. Naked squash, need to taste only the squash.

I can't see the pictures but sounds great. You're hooked now Jim.

Bill, i've had tri tip before, many times, it's just more available in these parts now.

doubt they were prime since there was no markings on the package stating so...

Great looking dinner Jim. TT is one of our favorites and this past year they have been easier to get here, before once in a blue moon you would see one at Costco but nowhere else. Always have two or three in the freezer now.

 

[Robert-R]

What a score! Man can't have too many tri-tips in the freezer. Dinner looks great.

Choice TTs at Costco for $5.49/lb. last Thurs. The pricing is dropping! Select TTs (trimmed, even) $2.99/ lb on sale at local Mexican grocery chain.

That plated picture looks amazing. I love Spaghetti Squash too. It's a tough nut to crack though

 

[Enrico Brandizzi]

That's a super looking plate.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Great score on the Tri Tip Jim. Cooked to perfection. The entire meal looks fabulous.

 

[Tim McCann]

Looks great Jim! Costco by me stopped carrying them? But they still carry pork belly?

 

[Clint]

That sounds & looks like a perfect plate to me.

Don't hesitate to try some Tri-Tip jerky if you get the urge - it works out well.

Outstanding plate there Jim. I would sit at your table anytime.

 

[John Sp]

The pics are working fine for me (and those of you that con't see them are really missing out). Awesome looking meal Jim as usual. We cooked a tri-tip a while back and really loved it. They are hard to come by here so I'll have to come to your house to get any...

Regards,

John
