Turning Tri Tip

[Jim Lampe]

about a 2 lb tri tip
seasoned it with KS+P, granulated gaaaalic powder, cayenne pepper and celery seed after it was EVOO'd

direct sear less than a half inch from the coal

then tossed into the basket to rotate it

spun it til the internal temp read 135ºF. Removed the sucker, rested it then sliced'er up.

sopped up that great juice in the rolls....
added cheeses to the scene with Carnival squash and iron skillet taters then called it supper.

hot mayo poured over the taters with enough to dip the halves in also...

DELICIOUS!

Thank you for visiting!

Thank you

counter balance

What's with the rock?

a small smoky joe grill grate balanced on two pavers, the field stone acted as a counter balance with the steak on the other end...

 

[Mike Coffman]

Excellent Jim! Send a couple of them sammies my way!

I was wondering about the rock as well. Nice looking tri tip, it has recently become my favorite cut of Cow.

i get irrationally angry whenever I see a tri-tip post. They always look so doggone good, and I can never find any around here.

So Jim, you should take this as a compliment of the highest order: my blood is boiling right now! Those sandwiches look absolutely fantastic.

I thought I was the only one that used cooking rocks. I use them all the time. Counter balance, Prop up food. Separate food. etc. Great looking meal Jim

 

[Phil Perrin]

Good looking sammies,Jim! I haven't had a tri in a while. I see a trip to TJ's in the near future!

 

[Jim Lampe]

phil, when you go to TJ's, buy as many as you CAN!

Outstanding, Jim!!! I would have never thought of using the roti for a tri Tip. Just another example of why you are the master!

The food looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
