First time trying American Wagyu and first time grilling a tri tip. Based on advice I saw here, I took it to 140 with indirect heat (about 225 for 2ish hours) and then seared it with high heat for about 2.5 minutes per side. Served with chimichurri and garlic rosemary baby potatoes. I’ll certainly be trying this again!

    First pic with the grain scared me, then I saw the beauty of the 2nd pic. Perfectly cooked and sliced! Nice one

  2. I think the chimi churri was a good idea! Very hard for to keep that juicy.. yours looks good 😊

    Beautiful char! Looks like you were going for medium internal?

  4. Fine looking, maybe a little bit to medium. 😊👍

    Just a tad over my taste. Tri tip is perfect for medium rare or less in the dead center, and everyone should be happy from some cut.

    Tri tip has become a staple cut. We call it our mini prime rib because of how incredible they are on the smoker then finished on the cast iron.

    Looks really good
    I prefer mine a little less cooked (rare/Medium—rare)
    I’m just really proud that that you cut it perfectly
    I’ve made the the mistake of not getting across the grain and damn near dislocated a jaw

    Next time
    Try some high end ciabatta rolls toasted with butter for steak sandwiches—— they’re awesome.

    Nice…. Personal preference is more heat and less time. I’m more of a black n blue guy.

    Cut across the grain. Cooked a bit too much for my liking.

    You cut it wrong but otherwise still looks pretty decent.

    You’ve taken your first step into a larger world.

    That’s a beautiful tritip. You split the roast during carving properly then sliced across the grain for your portions. Medium is perfect for tritip in my opinion. Bravo, sir!
