A tri tip smokes in PA

[RiversideSm0ker]

Xray I will give you two thumbs up from the left coast. I love my meat on the rare side so that looks perfect to me. Iver never actually seared one from the smoker before. Do you just prefer a bit of crust on your beef? I guess I don't think of tri tip like steak or burgers which of course I would sear as it cooks. I doubt that you will be able to make that much better but if you do like it a bit more done then once you are just about to 140 would be the time to pull it. It would be just a bit less pink but still really juicy and delicious. Man I love this forum.

That looks as good, if not better than any I've seen, and I've seen a few!!

Thing of beauty, I can smell it from here

It smelled wonderful. Thanks

I don't know... I need a taste! :rolleyes:
But based on appearance, you sir, have there a winner!

Thanks for the kind words. There’s plenty leftover. I think tomorrow I’m going to make tri tip nachos!

Thanks for the thumbs up George. I always liked a nice crust on my steak. Our brains love salt and crunch.

As for taste? I think I just like to make it look pretty. Steaks coming out of a SV bag look a little gross to me.

As for the tri tip. It didn’t spend much time in the smoker so I figured I’d give it a nice sear. If it smoked for longer or if the pit temp was higher, I might have made the decision to keep it that way.

Here’s what it looked like right out of the smoker before searing.
