Small Tri-tip

[Richie Rod]

Went to Costco and picked up a couple of small tri-tips. We don't have a good selection of rubs/spices built up yet, so I just used Penzeys Chicago seasoning and let it sit in the fridge overnite. As luck would have it, my new Maverick 732 arrived earlier in the day, so I now had an excuse to "break it in,"
I let the meat sit on the counter while I pre-heated the Bradley 4 rack. Oven temp was set at 230*. Loaded up oak pucks and at the first sign of smoke I put the tri-tip in.
Kept an eye on the Maverick as the meat temp rose and pulled it at 140*, which was only an hour and twenty minutes of cook time. The warden wasn't ready for dinner, so did another 1hr 20 mins of FTC.
That has got to be the best tri-tip I've ever had! Warden says "do that again!"

Looks rare in the pic but it was more med/rare. Nice change from the "raw" of my last two cooks. :)

We were at the table eating when I had that picture "oh crap" moment, that's why you don't see any of the slices. I stopped there cause I know the grain was changing direction and I have a real hard time finding and following it.
