Cutting Tri-tip for One

[BrianGSDTexoma]

I have a frozen Tri-tip. I normally do the sink full of water to thaw everything. It only me eating and hate to cook the whole thing. Guess I can cut in half and re-freezer other half?

I would do that. Another option you can Cooke the whole thing and freeze what you don’t eat. Heat up with a SV if you have one

Like this approach better. Never was a fan of re-freezing meat.

I’d cook it whole then cut what you want and freeze the rest. Smoked meats reheat very well, plus with SV it’s a quick easy meal.

IF it were me, cook the whole thing, slap it between two halves of toasted italian bread and top w a bit of bbq sauce or chimichuri

Thanks. I do have a sous vide. I will go that route.

This is brisket . Smoked whole , vac'd and reheated from frozen with SV'd .
No loss in quality , but I've been cross cutting them raw . Smoke half and save half .
I have no issue with refreezing , but try to portion it out before the first freezing .

Thanks Rich. Albertson has Tri-tip for $5 lb today. Might pickup one and cut in half before freezing this time.

for us, it's two. we cook whole thing and suck it in our Inkbird vac.
thinly sliced tri-tip makes great quesadilla. (sp)
