CA Style Tri-Tips

[IronHavoc]

Fired up the New Scottsdale with Oak wood, seasoned a couple Tri-Tips with course SPG, then set them up the cooker Santa Maria style. Then reverse sear for the finish.

Tri-Tips are a big California thing, we do these alot out here. Pretty good cut of meat, great meal, and makes great left over sandwiches.

Man you got a big cooker. And it looks so clean.
Did you close the lid for the cook or leave it open?

Bro, you nailed that cook, there is nothing better than TT cooked over white hot oak wood coals. If you have a meat slicer, next time cook an extra., shock it in an ice bath, then the refriger overnight, and slice is 1/8'' thick, it makes killer sandwiches. Have you ever tried Ball tips? They are a thing around here that old man Kinder of Kinder's Butcher Shop & BBQ started selling around here in the 1970's. They might even be better than his T.T.

Those look awesome, looks like you nailed it.
Our local grocery store is starting to carry them for 9.99 a lb. I've been starting to appreciate the tri tip.

I am from Antioch, so know kinders from Concord, I think that was the original spot. Not sure wasnt around in the 70s. But those balltip sandwiches were bomb. Now I will have to go find some and cook them up. Thanks for reminding me.

I'm from Clayton, I dated one of the old man Kinder's gran daughters many yrs ago. The first Kinder's I remember was on Arnold Dr, across the street from the refineries. They had a couple of Santa Maria style grills going five to six days a week selling burgers, dogs, chicken 1/4s, T.T. and Ball tip sandwiches for like $7.00 with chips and a soda, or iced sweet tea. That was back in the late 70's, they are still doing it today, but it cost $16 to $18.00 now, still a good deal the way things cost these days, which is crazy.

Do you still live in Antioch? I'm still local.

When I think of Santa Maria Tri-Tip I go back to Jocko's in Nipomo, CA just North of Santa Maria. That is where I first fell in love with it. That and the Spencer (Which is a grass fed rib-eye).

After I watched them cook on a Santa Maria grill I had to have one for myself. It took a few years until I could afford to get one of my own.

That is a three hour drive from my house but I used to have to do it once a month for work so I took advantage of it while I was there.

I also stocked up on the Coastal Red Oak and brought it home to cook with.
