Was another busy weekend. Getting cool out and all the fall festivals are in full gear. Great time of year, except time on the smoker lessens a bit with all the running. Not to worry. Several recent posts on Tri Tips got me wanting one again. They are definitely one of my favorite meats, so I picked one up Friday to slip in when I could...which became Sunday afternoon. Not to worry, since these things generally cook pretty quik. So, on to the fun.....
Picked this up at my local butcher shop. Sale for $4.99/lb, mostly trimmed and already rubbed with a very favorite rub for these. I think they call it Pappie's. One they make themselves. This was just barely south of 4 lbs
Forgot to get a pic of the start, but here she is just being moved to sear mode. Cooked this at about 230 average temperature. Took just under 3 hours and moved to sear when it reached 135 degrees. Cooked on the Weber, and had a pan of hickory and apple mix wood chips.
Finishing up the sear. Love smelling up the neighborhood.
Pulled from fire and resting comfortably. End result after cook, sear and about 1/2 rest was an internal of about 148. Pretty much a favorits of the family. Fat end still has some rarity for me and a boy, smaller end close to medium well for the missus and another boy. Cooking up some italian macaroni and grean beans to accompany this.
A couple pics after she went under the knife. Not to worry, it was her pleasure and she took it well.
PLated up and ready to enjoy. Have to admit, this was one of my better Tri Tip cooks. Very juicy and great flavor.
Oh, and Saturday night I had put together another of my favorites for this time of year. Something pumpkin!!! This wasn't my own recipe, but is a favorite...Pumpkin Pecan Squares. A great ending to a terrific dinner.
Thanks for stopping in...hope your smokes were equally enjoyable.
