Tri Tip Sammie

[John Solak]

Haven't had beef other than burger form for a couple of weeks so a tri tip was in order.

I haven't fired up the 26"er in a while and need to break in the CI grate for it and figured I might as well fill er up while I had her lit. Tri tip, peppers, green onions, corn, and the thing on the foil is a chicken popper. Someone said I just had to try one.

Tri tip cooked till around 117*F and pulled. Got the grill real hot and gave it a sear.

Had some left over garlic oil from a previous cook and made some cheesy garlic bread.

Tri tip sliced.

Sandwich made. Tri tip with some salsa and some Stubbs BBQ sauce on the cheesy garlic.

The aftermath. Not much for leftovers tomorrow.

Didn't realize Craycort made the cast iron grate for the 26er.

So much to enjoy here. Cool CI 26'ers! Tri Tip! Then you blow it out with some awesome garlic cheese bread and salsa!

Great job... I enjoyed every bit of it.

Would love to eat a tri made by a CA Pro!

When I saw that Craycort came out with a CI grate for the 26 incher, that swayed me to get that size a couple months ago. I love it!

John, great tri-tip. I've only done tri-tip on the WSM, but you've inspired me to shake it up and try the OTG!
