That looks great Al. I seen a store here had them a few weeks ago. I need to see if they still have them. Not easy to get in the northeast

Here is what I started with.

We liked the marinade we put on the skirt steak we had last week, so I just made the same for the TT. I just eyeballed the ingredients, no measuring.

Into the vacuum canister for an overnight nap in the fridge.

Into the Rec Tec set at 215

I also put a little water in the drip pan.

When the TT hit 115 IT, we fired up the gasser. Cooked some potato’s on the side burner.

It’s nice & hot for the sear.

Judy took the leftover marinade & boiled it down for some Au Jus.

Love these sear grates, they came with the RT, but they seem more suited for the gasser.

View attachment 638232
Added some of the Au Jus.

Here is the sliced shot.

It’s dinner time!!

I have to say this was very good. I have 2 more in the freezer & think I will save them for something special. Once again WFF didn’t disappoint us. Thanks for looking folks!!

Here is my reverse seared tri-tip

 

[SmokinAl]

Looks mighty tasty as usual.

Looks awesome Al.

Hey Al, I'm coming to your house...

Looks tasty to me! Done just how I’d want it and the sear is perfect.

Al that looks amazing sir!! Cooked to perfection and beautifully seared. Huge nod from me on that one. Be hard pressed to see one done any better, that's for sure

Robert

Looks incredible Al!

Well thought out and executed Al. Now I'm hungry all over again. That is a perfect reverse seared TT. POINTS!!!!!

That sear job says it all.
Nice work!

Good morning Al,

You have more equipment than NASA!

Peace

I love some TT. Your looks great.

Perfection! Looks great

Al, the tri tip looks great and those potatoes are a nice compliment to the meal.

Al, that is a work of art right there! I can only dream and slobber over my computer screen looking at it....

PS, it looks like you are enjoying the 1250. I know I am very happy with mine.

Great job, Al with a beautiful TT. Curious, what was your internal temp when finished cooking?

Guess I'm going to have to get serious and give WFF a try. I did do an online order from WFF a little over a year ago, which I was pleased with, but never followed up. We've been lucky for many years with a couple excellent butchers very close to home. One retired 4 years ago, but the other is still going strong. My wife particularly favors the remaining butcher, which is excellent, with prices to match, but I think her attraction is the elderly Italian owner who has been flirting with her for years.

In the past year and a half, WFF has opened 6 stores in my general area, with the nearest being about a 30 minute ride. Think I'll give that store a visit next week.

Awesome looking TT. I wish we could find them around here.

 

[Buckeye1]

Great looking TT Al. That has become a favorite around the house. Making me hungry just looking it.

Glad you are liking your Recteq.

Thank you & yes I’m really liking the RT. Still learning, but so far I’m very happy with it.

I never checked the IT when done, only while in the smoker. The closest WFF is about 2 hours away. But with free overnight shipping it doesn’t matter. Although I would like to just go thru their store.

Fantastic Al! That couldn't be done better!

 

[tbrtt1]

Great looking tri-tip Al. Here in Texas we are fortunate, or at least were until inflation and etc. struck, but we’ve been able to get tri- tip at reasonable prices. I started doing them on occasion a few years ago and I even have a Santa Maria set up for my weber kettle. It’s fun to do that on occasion using oak.

I have never marinated my tri-tips, but now that I see your excellent results, I may have to give it a shot. And I love the idea of cooking down the marinade for a sauce. Absolutely superb.

I do not have a RT however I have a heavily modified old Traeger. I must say the pellet pooper is very convenient.

 

[Winterrider]

You nailed it Al, and congratulations, well deserved on the carousel !

We don’t eat a lot of meat, but when we do I like to go for the pricier cuts, and TT is a fav here too. I have them same SM setup for my kettle as well!
