Anyone else have an underrated cut? Ever cooked a tri tip in a smoker?
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!

i tried smoking one once on my weber kettle and dried that sum bitch out.... thats been a few years. My smoker and my skills are much better now...
thats why i'd like to try it out. This damn wild card at this cookoff can be anything done on a pit. i've recently did beef ribs and they came out awesome, but i'm looking to try a couple different other meats/ideas and the trip tip was one i was thinking about....

That's what I usually do, minus the tortilla and avocado. You definitely have to cut against the grain like a brisket. Then it's damn near as tender as a filet.
Shame about it drying out if you cook it slow and low. I guess I'll keep cooking it like I always do. But I eat it because it's a healthier cut that is tender. I also love grilling London broil for the same reason, lean and cheap.

When I used to visit Santa Maria quite often, I had tri tip at least once every visit. I've never tried cooking it myself.
