Got a little toasty here yesterday and we're looking at hotter temps tomorrow and Friday, 110 and 112 respectively. Took a break from my outdoor work and thawed a 3 lb. tri tip that I'd bought during a bag sale last year at Safeway. I've been chatting with Rich G. about his Hunsaker Rib Rack. Rich likes spending my money and has been very helpful in that area. I mentioned it to my wife a couple of weeks ago and sure enough she bought me one for Father's Day. I'm really looking forward to using in on my next round of sausages. Anyway, back to the Tri Tip. It got the maiden voyage on the rack last night and it was great. Here's a few pic's.
I marinated the meat overnight and rubbed it with Cattlemen's Tri Tip seasoning.
Did some crosshatched Hasselback potatoes.
Here's the maiden "hang".
Got the potatoes going.
Checked it at 30 minutes and IT was around 110. Gave it another 10 minutes and pulled at around 128.
Potatoes getting there. Left them on around 50 minutes.
Carrots quartered in oil and garlic. Later sprinkled with lime juice, cumin, cilantro and salt and pepper.
Sliced.
Plated it up.
Well, we're so spoiled with Costco Prime, that I was a little let down with this meat. I don't recall if this was Choice or Select but I'm guessing Select. The meat was pretty tough. It was very juicy and had wonderful flavor. We both cleaned our plates and are looking forward to sandwiches later this week, but it just didn't have the pop and that melt in your mouth texture like the Costco Prime. We have one more of these guys to get through and then we're hopefully restock when our Costco gets restocked. The beef selection last week was quite paltry last week. Carrots and potatoes were great! Happy Hump Day everyone and thanks for looking.

I'll come up with some more ideas for you, I'm sure!
