    Karyn Cooks a Tri-Tip

    Here you go fuzzydaddy .... With pictures. Karyn is the best BBQ helper a dad could ask for. But this week she came and asked me if she could cook something herself, with me just supervising and advising her. Who was I to say no. Karyn decided on a Tri-Tip. She read up on Meathead's technique, spent a bunch of time asking me questions, and basically worrying herself sick about having to dump the coals from the chimney into the Hasty-Bake firebox.

    Here's what she did.

    1. Dry brined a Tri-Tip for 20 hours
    2. Seasoned it with equal parts fresh ground black pepper and garlic powder
    3. Made a chimichurri
    4. Got the Hasty-Bake fired up and the indirect side running at 275
    5. Cooked the Tri-Tip indirect to an internal temp of 140 (my wife doesn't like med rare or medium beef :-/)
    6. Seared over direct heat for about 2 minutes on each side
    7. Told her sous-chef (that's me) to cook baked potatoes and Brussels sprouts for sides
    8. Told her sous-chef to carve the Tri-Tip so that she could serve it

      You are a good sous chef ecowper ... You're training your daughter right. She won't need a man to grill & BBQ for her when she gets older.πŸ‘ Take good care of that Hasty-Bake so she can take it with her when she moves out of your nest. It looks like she did fine work, even though she was forced to over cook that Tri-Tip.πŸ‘Œ

        A lot of times I cook two smaller Tri-Tips, one to MR and one to MW. There's 5 of us. Three of us want MR, two want MW.

        Hey Jerod Broussard, can you fix that title? It should be "Karyn Cooks a Tri-Tip" .... Not sure how I got the 's in there

        Guest Funny, I almost corrected without asking. I figured "Karyn's Tri-tip Cook" was on the mind but not in the phalanges.

        Jerod Broussard I totally fat fingered it ... Couldn't decide which was on my mind, clearly. Thanks for the fix

      Breadhead I told her that knowing how to run a grill would make sure there were tons of boys interested in being around her .... I got the eye roll and "Daaaaaaad" reaction! :-)

          She really has been enjoying the grill the last few months. Not just eating it, but she wants to make it happen. It's pretty cool. I was kinda worried that none of my kids would have my love of cooking and the grill and the smoker. But one appears to. YAY!

              Karyn : Your Tri-Tip looks awesome! Gratulations on asking questions, researching, and letting Dad help you prepare and cook a great meal for your family. Also, congrats on having the courage to dump the coals. Well done!

              ecowper : Sounds like you're the best Dad a Daughter could ask for. I think this could be one of those experiences that Karyn will carry with her for many years. I say that because occasionally my 34 year old Son mentions experiences we had when he was young and I can see that they were special to him and have helped shape him.

              Thanks for your post!
