Featured Surf and Turf

[TNJAKE]

Evening fellas and non fellas. Getting some pretty bad weather here in tennessee. Snow, ice, freezing cold. Today's my birthday so wasn't gonna let the weather hold me back from a good meal. Started off with a 3lb Tri Tip with Jeff's Texas rub.

Due to weather I went with the pellet smoker. 225 using pecan.

Took about an 100min to get to 120° then opened the sear flame

Pulled at 133 and let it rest for 10min. Went a tad past medium rare but that's okay. Wife made us a couple lobster tails using butter, garlic, parsley, lemon, paprika

Tri tip sliced

And my plate

Was a pretty tasty meal on a cold day. Thanks for looking and stay warm

Thanks Robert I appreciate it. The tomahawks you sent me were originally on the menu but it's so damn cold I couldn't keep a close enough eye on something as spectacular as that without freezing. Tri tip hit the spot though

Happy birthday jake. They both look good. Way to keep that Q going even in the weather. I know I can’t wait for spring. How is Jeff’s rub on the tritip? Did you use the original or Texas rub?

Awesome looking meal Jake! And happy birthday! Sucks the weather you're having but that fireplace sure does look inviting! Just hard to beat a good wood fire!

A meal worthy of a Celebration. If you do celebrate. At the big 50, I discovered I can't drink like I did for 30 and 40. And the Presents I would like are increasingly Expensive so I get fewer if any...JJ
