Tri Tip: smoked and reverse seared - best one yet

[sandyut]

My wife who doesnt like "bloody beef" (it a genetic disorder for sure) is out of town. I was shopping our home freezer section and found a tri tip from last Nov I prepped for SV (seasoned and vacuum sealed) - never got to it over the winter with all the surgeries and such. But its 100 degrees out now and I thawed it and ran with it. No idea what rub i used. normally I write it on the bag, but I didnt. still rolling with it. 18 hour thaw, smoked at 180 for about 1.5 hours then kicked it up to 240. Pulled it at about 125-130 give or take. Off the smoker and directly to the gasser at 450, bout 1.5 min per side. rested about 10 min then started to consume. Might be the best tri tip I ever made. I was worried about it sitting in the rub so long thawing - I wont worry about that again.
almost done smokin

Just off the sear

Cut...OMG so good. Perfectly "bloody as hell" (to quote pulp fiction)

Nice Dave, that’s just how I like them. A triTip like that and you almost don’t need sides, just dive in and munch!

Running it at 180 makes a good smoke ring. Run a TT to hot for the first hour and its done before you know it (too soon)

That is killer Dave!
Perfectly done for our taste!

Thanks Al! I get nervous about overshooting the doneness. But this was easy and delish

The doneness could not have been more spot on. I spaced the plated pic because I was eating before I hit the table. Had it with gazpacho and pita bread.

Perfection....and I can’t believe you didn’t call me to come over to help consume it! LOL!

I knew I was "forgetting" something. bahaha

Excellent!
Jim

thanks Jim

It was hard to push in the sides - but they were light. Gazpacho and pita.

Awesome excuse to have some amazing meat, and very bloody, just the way I like it. Excellent cook for sure.

My wife is gone for the weekend and I'm making pizza with real dough, none of that cauliflower pizza this weekend, and I'm going to smoke it too. :).

I get stressed about the doneness. Kills me when I overshoot anything, but especially beef I want medium rare.
