I smoke it first then sear. That seems to work better than the other way.

Butter, thyme, rosemary, garlic - second option

I do mine the “traditional” way - hot and fast. 40 minutes, turning every 10. I cut it where the grain shifts

Takes that long? Feels like it is usually 15-20 but I like mine med rare

That will give a gradient for everybody in the room. It’ll be so tender it doesn’t matter though

Also seasoning - equal parts kosher salt, coarse pepper, granulated garlic. + msg if you have it

Do you like to do the sear at the beginning or end of the cook?

AZPTCOUG

End. But let the meat rest for 10 min or so to cool down a little before searing

Can’t recommend this enough. So easy, so good.

Tri tip is better cooked Sous Vide and then reverse seared on a cast iron skillet. You're welcome.

Smoke it like a brisket.

It's great, if you have 3 hours.

It’s true. Traditional tri tip is nice because it is quick.

I don’t know… the worst part of a brisket is the flat and that’s basically what

I’ve always just done like you did but then seared on the pellet grill

Sear in rear. Don’t let it go over 130. Make board sauce with fresh herbs. Link
