Smoked-SV'd-Seared (SSS) Tri-Tips

[T-bone]

I finally lucked in to a couple of tri-tips here on the east coast. Even though they're Choice they still were nice cuts with decent marbling.



After a dry-brine, they got some T-Bone's Secret Rub and went on the smoker at 225* for a little over an hour until the IT was 110*.



After their smoke sauna, off they went to the hot tub at 130* for 6 hours.

Next, after getting the Napoleon Gasser screamin' hot, in they went for a sear.





They turned out awesome. A great smoky, beefy flavor and super tender. These definitely will be on a regular rotation here at Hacienda T-Bone as long as I can keep finding great tri-tips.

Did you chill them after the SV or straight to the sear step?

[T-bone]

Went straight from the tub and on to the grillgrates.

The commissary is the only place I can find them as well. I love a good tri-tip, and those look fantastic!

[T-bone]

Thanks! I haven’t seen them in ours until last Saturday. I hope they keep them in stock. I’ll do my part in continuing to buy them. 😃

Thanks! I highly recommend it. My 21yo son was ready to fight over the last serving. LOL

They look great! I'm a big fan of tri tip myself.

Love Tri-Tip!!! Man I need to get some more. I portion them into steaks. Beefy flavor like no other.
