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).


I do it, and enjoy it both ways. But yeah, cooking it brisket style is only done as a matter of convenience. It’s basically a small flat that requires no trimming. In my area, tri tip is cheaper per lb than a brisket flat, so I’ll usually buy a tri tip over a flat. Quality is roughly the same.

Grill it using oak wood chips for added smoke to medium rare. Traditional Santa Maria style!

Trying for the first time today. Going with the reverse sear method.

I've done tri-tip both ways. It makes a below average brisket from an expensive cut. I much prefer to smoke for a bit, then reverse sear to medium rare. Chimichuri or some Alabama white sauce on top.

Seriously. Sous vide for 6 hours and a 2 min sear per side is $$$

I like cooking a tri-tip Santa Maria style. There are a ton of recipes out there on the internet, I usually try a different one each time
