Usually use Santa Maria or Montreal steak seasoning on my tri tip's, but this time I decided to use the "KISS" method. (Keep It Simple Stupid) and went with the traditional combo of Olive Oil, Salt & Pepper.  Used my large charcoal grill and a couple chunks of hickory wood.

Visited my local "Lazy Acres" and got a gorgeous piece of trip tip. Also found out they actually carry Wagyu cuts of beef. Course they're like 50 bucks for small pieces of beef, but still cool that it's down the street from me lol

No Trimming Necessary, Beautiful Marbling


Salt & Pepper Added


Three Amigos


My $100 Barrel Grill, yay for Craigslist lol


Flipped To Sear The Top


Finished At 138 Degrees, I prefer Medium over Rare


So Much Juice, and Pink Throughout


I'm A Simple Man, Beef & Cornbread

That looks perfect doneness for us.
Exactly Farmer lol...I know the typical opinion is Tri Tips are served as Rare, but also just depends on who's eating it :P

I like all my red meats to be Medium, if I hit Medium Well that's ok too. but I try so hard to get that perfectly pink center every time and use the aujus when it's all done.

My theory has always been, "if you need steak sauce with your meal, then you clearly screwed up with your cook" ha ha
 
Great job on that Tri Tip!

Tri tip looks tasty! Just so you know around here KISS means Keep it Simple Smoker!

Keeping it simple lets the true flavor of the meat to shine through!

Point!
