Tri tips are HUGE here at The Pit! If it's a Choice grade (or higher) snag it up! If it's Select, it may be on the tougher side, but still try it! Check out Meathead's tri tip steak/roast article. Not to mention many many here in The Pit. It's also popular as a sous-b-q (sous vide then seared on a grill) if that's your thing. -
If it's true tri tip, $2.99 is a damn good price. For all the hype around tri tip, it's nothing more than a thick steak. I use a Weber Kettle Rotisserie, but the basic method is to dry brine it for a couple of hours, hit it with a traditional Santa Maria rub (my wife insists on Meathead's Big Bad Beef Rub and I won't argue the point), smoke it over a combo of oak and apple chips to about 120, reverse sear to 130 and rest it. Cut across the grain to ensure tenderness (Meathead's post on tri tip has a great series of pictures).Comment
