Had the family over for a Sunday evening dinner, tri tip on the menu. Started with a couple 2 1/2 - 3 lb. choice tri tips from Costco. Seasoned and smoked for just under 2 hours, to an IT of 135*F. (My family likes beef medium to well done). Reverse sear on my gas grill, then wrapped and rested until time to eat.

Nice tri-tip! Love that stuff.

I have medium-well fans in my house too. That's one thing I like about tri-tip since it isn't a uniform thickness - I can have medium in the middle while they have medium-well towards the ends and well done on the tips.

I just vac sealed a case of tri-tip from GFS a couple of weeks ago. Took a long time to trim the fat caps and seal a whole case, but it's great steak at a very reasonable price!

Tri tip has become my favorite meat to smoke (and eat). It's not too expensive, easy to prepare, and has great flavor.
