A grilled Tri Tip short story by RS

[Retired Spook]

2.6-lb HEB Prime Tri Tip, Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion and a dusting of smoked paprika, grilled over post oak and mesquite coals.

Not as fierce as my usual fires; Tri Tip requires a little more finesse than a steak. 12-minutes each side and then flip it about every 2 or 3-minutues until it hit 125-degrees.

Nice sear...

Relaxing for 10-minutes.

And perfect, wonderful slices of Tri Tip. Tender, juicy, perfect crust and superb flavor! Awesome.

The end.

Sorry Spook. That doesn't pass the SMF requirements. You're gonna have to send it my way for proper disposal! JK. That looks awesome. Great job buddy!

can't beat a good short story with a great ending and you nailed it mr. Spook

Way to get after it in the fire. Super nice work. Oh that flavor of flame grilling.

Nothing beats the flavor of beef cooked over a hardwood fire - it brings me back to our hunter-gatherer roots...

Yeah buddy. I knuckle drag for flame roasted/grilled meat. Heck I’ll even eat yard bird if it’s been drug through the fire. It’s all the difference, nothing like the fire.

Gezz that looks good. I love open fire cooking

Nice Spooky, need to do a TT again soon and you cooked that one right! Over cook that and you will regret it

 

[Redicans]

Yes Sir!! That looks so Damn Good!! Awesome Job!

The best way to cook up a tri-tip. I have tried smoking them and just doesn't hit the same as cooking over a wood fire.

Looks done to perfection Spook, nice work! I picked up a quad of choice tritips today for $3.97lb, get another four tomorrow. I'll do a 50-50 grind of rib roast and tritip for my burger meat this year, about 25 pounds, I deserve it! RAY

RS, I can almost taste that Tri from here, nice job!

 

[Steve H]

Delicious looking TT!

 

[DRKsmoking]

That looks and sounds great. That is something I must do more ...real flame grilled meat.
I can taste that crust as i'm typing.

Just enough words to flesh out the pictures for us visually inclined folks. I'd be knuckle dragging with the others for a hunk of that.

Sliced some up thin, let it rest on the counter for a bit, then "warmed em up" in a carbon steel skillet in a little bit of butter, and had it with an egg for breakfast...

I am sure that our hunter-gatherer ancestors did not have carbon steel skillets, but nevertheless, soooo good I did not want to eat the egg!

Thank all you gentlemen for all the compliments!

TT are one of our favorites, and you did that one proud RS. Unfortunately they're also considered a treat for us due to availability.

Point for sure

That looks awesome. I'd like to do some open fire cooking... don't do much rustic camping anymore so I'll hafta come up with a plan for that outside of the weber kettle in the back yard.
