Looking good Justin! Great advice given on the carving...there are good videos on you tube also on it...one in particular from tvwb
I've been grilling tri tips for 30 years and have never paid attention to the split grain. Never was a problem, but now I'm eager to slice my next one.
Great looking food there. TT is a great flavorful cut of beef, and you cooked it perfectly it seems.
I do want to point out that you did slice with the grain, and you want to slice against the grain.
Of course the flavor remains the same you just get a bit more chew to the meat. Try slicing this way next time and I think you will be much happier, if that is possible(which I know it is because I love me some Tri-tip). Cut the red line, and slice the blue lines. There, I just gave you an excuse to have to cook another one.

I cooked them for a few years before paying attention to the grain direction while slicing. So fwiw the grain is not a deal breaker. Good luck and let me know if you notice a difference.
