Tri Tip Cooked Pit Beef Style

[John Solak]

Seasoned a Tri Tip with Montreal Steak seasoning about an hour prior to cooking. Cut the part where the tri tip necks down since that is going to cook faster than the bigger part.


Cooked direct with mesquite lump charcoal flipping the pieces every 2 minutes. Smaller piece done.cooked to an internal temp of 110*F


Larger piece done


Resting


Placed in the fridge overnight then ran the tri tip thru my meat slicer this morning.

Great cook John, that TT looks perfect. Never done one direct, about how long did it take?

Perfectly cooked John. Good thinking to separate the tip.

Not sure, somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes

I would LOVE some (pictures of) sandwiches

Didn't take any pics of my sandwich, nothing special bun, meat, melted sliced cheddar with onion, horseradish and mayo. Was one of the most tender and flavorful beef sandwiches I have had though. Tri tip will probably be my go to roast for pit beef sandwiches from now on.

That's a fine looking Tri-Tip cook John. What's TT going for down in sunny SD? We're getting Select for $3ish and Choice for $5ish up here in the Bay Area

John, your cook looks great, as usual!

I have got to tell you, you west coast guys have it good with Tri Tip, I don't think I have ever seen one out here on the east coast, and I certainly haven't cooked one.
