Tri Tip... An underrated cut of steak

It's a very tender cut, that you rarely hear about in the south. I usually grill it over high heat. But I'm thinking I need to toss a few in the smoker. I'm thinking it'll come out better than brisket, and will probably be much healthier.
Anyone else have an underrated cut? Ever cooked a tri tip in a smoker?

Sous vide is where it's at.

It's a great cut. I like it a lot. Trader Joe's has them.
In the South, that part is usually cut as top sirloin steak.
I wish there were more sources locally for this, and hell yeah I would sous vide it. It has great flavor if you don't overcook it.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

This is cut used in Santa Maria style BBQ in California. You can smoke it over mesquite, but I wouldn't do "low and Slow" as it doesn't have enough fat and would dry out. I would "wood roast" it at 350 ish. Slice thin across the grain, and serve with good tortilla, and avacado!

Ive tried it. One of the times it was awesome, the other not so much. It dried out and got tough.
I usually just reverse sear them to 135

there was a show on PBS the other weekend that talking about cooking a tri tip. Said that they are a very popular cut of steak in California. Show host used the reverse sear method of cooking the steak
