2nd Tri Tip

[rippinntearin]

Afternoon,

So after my first Tri Tip which IMO was a little overdone, I just cooked my 2nd last night. It was damn near perfect! Reverse seared once it hit 125 and pulled at 135. The temp climbed to 140 which was a perfect medium-rare for my family. Oh....AND I cut across the grain this time (rookie mistake last time... https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/first-tri-tip.310165/).

My kids bellies were full and my wife enjoyed it as well! Solid Sunday dinner...

Rip...

Good looking plate. And just enough veggies to add a little color with out over powering that gorgeous protein.

Very nice, we like ours right at 140 to 145 so that's perfect!

I can't even guess at the number of tri-tips I've cooked and I always make a little sketch of the grain direction so I can get my first cut in the right spot. They are generally the same, but the grain will be a little tricky on some.
