This video will show you how to cook the perfect tri tip recipe! USDA Prime tri tip smoked then seared over oak! Yeah, baby!!! This is my favorite way of cooking this tender and favorable cut of beef! Seasoned with just a few ingredients (recipe below), then let the smoke and fire do the rest. I cooked this in my Lone Star Grillz offset verticle: lonestargrillz.com low and slow over coastal oak, then seared them over the LSG's firebox using Grill Grates. This resulted in some of the best tri tip I have EVER had! Simply amazing!
Tri Tip Rub Recipe:
1/4 cup kosher salt (or sea salt)
1/4 cup ground black pepper
1/4 cup dehydrated minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley

Thanks for the nostalgic memory of Pinnacle Pete's. I was really sorry to see that place go.

Fabulous color on those perfectly cooked Tri-tips Greg! I like mine with a little smoke and searing at the end also, so I really enjoyed this video. Wish I was there to help you eat that!!! Cheers brother!

Thanks for the great video Greg. Funny that you mentioned Pinnacle Peak. I was a cook there for about 4 years in the early 70's. I worked in the El Cajon, Ca. location and that is where I developed my love for all things grilled and barbecued. I live in NC now but still remember the days of Santa Maria style cooking in the center of a restaurant surrounded by many hungry dinners! Loved your video and I am now a subscriber. Looking forward to more. David

Those looked awesome! I do tri-tips on my Weber Performer. Doing a reverse sear with coals or lump (and wood) is a bit more work, but it comes out great. Never used coastal oak. I bet it’s great. Thanks, Greg.

Loved the video, Greg! I have exposed dozens of folks to tri-tip here in San Antonio over the past 5 years. At first, no one had heard of it, now it is readily available at our local grocery chain. I usually sous vide it at 132-135F for 8-24 hours depending on fat content/marbling and sear over hot lump charcoal or under a broiler. Regardless, I have made a lot of friends with this under-rated cut of beef!

@EverydayBBQ 4 жыл бұрын

Tri-Tip is high at the top of my favorite cuts list. I’ve always likened it to a nice Filet Mignon type flavor, very beefy yet tender. Those were beautiful! It’s weird that sometimes we can get Tri-Tip here and sometimes we can’t. It also fluctuates a lot in price but I grab it every chance I have. That Lonestar really puts some beautiful smoke on everything I’ve seen you cook in it. Naturally the sear was excellent and I only wish I was there for the taste test 👍🏼. Cheers, brother! 🍻

It is one of the easiest meats to BBQ, only takes 45 minutes, Brisket and Pulled Pork 12 hours, you get a big rush at the restaurant Tri Tip in the evening. I do not know why every BBQ restaurant does not add it to their menu. It really is a no brainer. And just think all of those Ca. trans plants would love it, LOL

@rogerhayslett6706 4 жыл бұрын

Tri tip is one of the underdogs of beef. Incredible flavor. The slicing is crazy important like you mentioned, but I love them. I like to sous vide with a quick sear on the Blackstone, but the way you smoked is probably even better for flavor.

@BallisticBBQ 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Roger. Sous vide works great, but you're right. The smoke flavor of this technique is killer.

@johnpurdum8126 4 жыл бұрын

Okay so I waited until the end to give you a thumbs up. Being from Santa Maria I had see how you would do these. Not too bad. The end result was acceptible. But it's still best to Q'm over red oak and a crank grill. You got the seasoning and temps correct. Good job. Heck I was camping at the beach this weekend and had em in a Weber kettle with red oak chunks on the charcoal base to get it going. Gotta do what you gotta do.

Scottsdale, AZ had a Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse North of town just below Pinnacle Peak Mountain, for many years. Same thing they would cut your tie off and hang it in the rafters of the restaurant. I remember when the central air would kick in, those ties moved like a field of wheat in a windstorm. The steak pit was outside and was huge......they used Mesquite wood.

@fly1327 4 жыл бұрын

We're so used to tri-tip here I'm frequently looking for something else. And if my dinner ideas don't inspire, "OK dear, I'll get some tri-tip for dinner". It's everywhere here in So Cal, a go-to staple. So easy, indirect cook to rare then sear to medium rare, on almost anything. Weber kettles, firepits, even beach fires with a grill thrown over it work, but personally I think Santa Maria grills do it best. Nice job on that cook!

I would go to Pinnacle Pete's while I was stationed in the Tucson area. As an Airmans on payday we would go out for a great steak. The bbq pit was in the center of the restaurant and cut off ties were all over the ceiling including a Air Force tie from us. I sure miss it.
