Storing/Re-heating Tri-Tip

[Lee Rogers]

Does anyone have any suggestions for storing and reheating prepared tri-tip? I bought a couple and smoked them today, but we could only finish one. The one thats left is medium-rare so is it ok to wrap up and stick in the fridge? I assume reheating in the oven would be ok?

Yes to both. When I reheat tri tip I let it come to room temp and heat till barely warm, 120º. You can also reheat in the microwave on the defrost cycle, but you need to be careful you don't over cook it.

Thanks.

Lee, As far as the leftovers go, most times I just let it get to room temp and slice it and eat it like that. Really is good at room temp. Makes a great sammie too, along with some horesradish and mayo, and a slice or 2 of cheese. You can also make cheese steaks out of the leftovers too. Warm in the oven and slice thin. Put the roll with cheese under the broiler and add some caramelized onions and mushrooms, bellas of course. Yum! And don't forget the mayo.
