Tri Tip question

Medium Rare like a steak or low and slow like a brisket?

Sous Vide in a bath tub for 127 hours at 117.

Medium Rare like a steak.
I did one quite a while back, the only time I've tried, and it was freaking delicious. Been meaning to do another one.
I have an OK Joe's Reverse Smoker. So I put it in the big barrel, with a heat of about 200-210, and left it in till it reached an IT of around 110.
Then I put in on the grates inside the firebox for a direct sear on each side. Damn tasty cut of beef.

I've always done mine medium rare. Never tried one like brisket. I'd like to try that sometime. I always make a creamy horseradish sauce with mine, sometimes chimichurri.

^This, also great to eat sliced thin and cold the next day.

Cooked one on Sunday.
Sous vide at 130 for three hours. Seared on my grill about a minute a side.
It’s such a great piece of meat and honestly might be my favorite cut of beef.

I'm going to have to try it next time I get one.

I’ve never done it like brisket, always do a reverse sear and it’s honesty the most flavorful cut of beef I’ve cooked. It’s also fairly cheap and one can feed my whole family

we did this back in college when we didn't know what a tri tip really was. It was cheap back then. It was good, but nothing to write home about.

Smoke it until about 120ish. Pull it off and rest while you ramp it up and then sear it for a minute or so per side. Slice thin against the grain.
We prefer these with a homemade taco/fajita seasoning and served with tortillas.

Like a steak IMO. Only reason to do it like a brisket is if you're looking for a cheap brisket without the point portion (which is the best part).

Tri tip. Doesn't have as much fat to break down during a long smoke so the juice ain't worth the squeeze. If you want to do a smaller piece of meat like a Brisket do a wagyu chick roast.

100% but I usually go to 128 but close.
and, do the full 6 hours, makes a diff.

My favorite cut behind filet.
Medium rare.
I dry rub with garlic powder and Tony Chachere's. Heat butter in a cast iron skillet and cook until you get a good char. Finish in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes or so. Delicious.

Not as fast as a steak but not as slow as a brisket.
I'll bring it up slowly for an hour or so then sear the heck out of it.
With the tri-tip it's incredibly important you slice it correctly though.
No matter how you cook it, if sliced incorrectly it could be a tough chew
