Plan on reverse searing a trip trip next weekend. What's your go to way to serve it? Tacos? Sandwiches? Sliced by itself with chimichurri?

Wondering if it'll be too tough to serve as tacos or sandwiches, but was aiming for something more casual than fork and knife.

I did 3 on the smoker today. We just slice and eat right off the board. If it’s med rare-medium and it’s sliced correctly against the grain, it should be plenty tender enough for either tacos or sandwiches. I think sandwiches would be a better preparation, with horseradish mayo or Creole mustard and provolone cheese. I made a batch of cole slaw on the side and it was delicious.

This. It's such a wonderful tasting hunk of flesh when cooked properly.

Sliced by itself with chimichurri Is definitely the answer. So good.

I cook tri tip almost weekly. Wife and kids demolish it every time I cook it so sometimes I cook two. Highly recommend to dry brine for up to 48 hours. The dry brine and reverse sear will make it very tender.

I’ll cook it in the oven on 200-225 for about an hour and then either broil it in the over until about 125 internal or sear it over an open fire pit.

Cutting against the grain is critical, but I love making sandwiches. Great for leftover sandwiches as well.

Work on a better filter or something different.

Those pics are not appetizing.

It looks like flap steak when sliced.

This. Tri-tip is huge out here since we're so close to California, so I've had it multiple ways since I moved here.

The above is still the best.

How did you get such a big gray band without searing the exterior even a little?

My guess would be this:

The only negative to that method is going by time rather than temp. But that shouldn't have created such a difference in the edges and the center.

I put this picanha on the smoker last night at about 250 for 35-40 minutes then seared. 225 in the oven shouldn't overcook the edges like that.
