Tri and Try again....

[Jim Lampe]

came home from work yesterday to find a small pile of fresh cut hickory in my busted up beat to hell driveway.

I'll take it! Josh, I owe you bacon & pulled pork!
when I got in the house, I took out of the fridge a tri tip to bring it to room temps.
then, about 30 before dropping it on the hot grill I seasoned it up with the basic tri tip rub

after a few minutes to sear, I flipped it.

a few mushrooms graced the grates in a cast iron server...

finish off the tri with a final sear....

it was about this time when I probed the dang thing and it read 147ºF.
I quickly removed it as if that is REALLY gonna matter now...
took it inside to rest and got everything else ready to serve.

▲Brussels with onions and carrots, the 'shrooms and iron skillet potatoes.▲
...and here's the beef....

and dinner last night looked like this ▼

looks drier than it was, still very tender and plenty of juice...

Looking forward to polishing off the leftovers ;p
Thanks for your time!!

Fine looking tri tip and sides Jim but for some reason I was expecting to see that hickory wood cut up and burning in a Santa Maria pit.

Man your killing me Jim.I just finished supper(3 big stuffed green peppers). and now I'm hungary again.
I know you like your tri on the rare side but it still looks nice and moist.

Great looking cook Jim. Tri tip looks delicious and always enjoy the veggies you cook. I need to try to do some in the cast iron. I usually just put em in foil.
