Well we finally had a day without rain on Monday, and after searching the local butchers and seeing nothing that I wanted. Well except this huge a$$ tomahawk steak, but at 19.00/lb connected to a bone that wouldn't fit in my 26. I decided to pass on it. So on the way home I stopped by our local mom-n-pop store to buy my usual 4.99 six pack of Genny pounders, and decided to check out their meat section. Holy cow what did I see!!! Not one, or two, but three nice looking Tri-tips sitting in their display case, and to top it off they were all about 13.00 each. When I say nice. I mean since TT is so rare around here they all look nice to me. Since I only had a twenty only one went in my basket.
The beer pole to start things off.
First the steak(notice how it looks like the state of Vt.). Seasoned with just a pinch or two of salt-n-pepper.
Fired up the 22 Kettle with the Vortex, and on she goes. Because of the narrow tail. I had the Vortex running small side up. I didn't want to over cook the thinner part of the steak.
Flipped her once she freely released from the grate.
...and it slicing time!!!
Plated shot. My grandma's baked bean, and an ear of sweet corn. It's summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime.
Thanks for staying with me. I will admit that I did cut one section of this TT incorrectly. I got kind of excited when I cut into it and screwed up the upper section. It still tasted great, but it did have a bit of chew to it.
