We bought this Prime tri tip at HEB on sale. Today I trimmed it a little, dosed it up with Obie-cue Steakmaker rub, put it in the egg for two hours then seared it.

If you see these on sale, try one. Delicious.

That looks great. Been wanting to try one

I picked one of those up when they were on sale also.
Never cooked one before.
What temp on the egg? 250°?

Looks fantastic and I bet it tastes even better

Bingo. After the sear, wrap it in foil for 15 minutes. Dang.

Nice

Haven’t had one of those in years.

That is one of my favorite cuts of meat. I cooked mine on a PK offset then seared. I look for them every trip to HEB.

Love me some tri tip but I like picanah better, it’s about all I cook anymore

Looks "Mighty Fine"!

This is the one cut of meat that I have never cooked or eaten. In my 26 years as a meatcutter/ mkt. mgr. it is also the one cut of meat I sold the least. I`m sure that has changed since I changed careers in 2006. With the influx of Californians into Texas , the cut will only become more popular. I can remember asking every person that asked me if we sold Tri-Tips if they were from California. This is going back to at least 1984. Every single person that ever asked for one WAS from California. They always seemed surprised that I knew where they were from. What they didn`t know was that no one from Texas knew how to cook a Tri-Tip or that the cut existed. The picture below illustrates the proper way to slice one.

I’d smash that….looks awesome. Tri tip is great. Wild Fork sometimes has great deals on tri tip.

I almost bought one nut I wasn't sure how to cook it.

250 on the egg for 2 hours

How did you sear it? skillet or turn up the egg or something else?

Thanks for the advice/tips - that looks freaking awesome

I was in it for 54 years, wholesale packing. I had one customer that would order a case of tri tips a couple times a year. Always had the impression he was from Wisconsin. He smoked them for bbq. To me, it’s a steak primal.

Sort of like the flat iron from a shoulder clod / teres major.
