WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO GRILL TRI TIP:
2-3lbs tri tip
Kosher Salt
BBQ Rub - ours was equal parts black pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
Oil

To prepare out tri-tip you are going to trim off any of the fat and silverskin. Next we are going to be doing a dry brine on it. We will be using 1/2tsp kosher salt for ever pound of meat making sure to do all the side. This is going to help with seasoning our meat as well as enhance the juiciness of the tri-tip. Once our tri-tip has been salted we are going to place it into the fridge uncovered overnight or if you have the time you can even do two nights. This will just help further tenderize the meat.

After your Tri-tip has brined for 24 hours it’s now time to add some of our other flavors. First we will brush it with a little bit of oil, next we will generously apply our bbq rub. Today we are using a blend of equal parts black pepper, Garlic and paprika. With our tri-tip all ready for the grill, we are going to go ahead and get our Slow 'N Sear for cooking at 225F.

We set up our Slow 'N Sear by lighting about 25 briquettes. Once our initial briquettes are hot we will then add in about 1/3 of a basket of unlit briquettes along with some wood chips to add a kiss of smoky flavor to these tri-tips. With our grill up to temperature with clean smoke it’s time to get our tri-tip on grill opposite the slow ‘n sear. We are also going to also take our leave in thermometer and probe our tri-tip so we can monitor the internal temperature as it rises because when it hits 90 degrees we are going to flip it to promote even cooking. Once that done we are going to close the lid and begin cooking.

When you Tri Tip has reached 90 degrees internal temperature open the grill and give your steaks a flip to help it cook evenly. Next close the lid and continue cooking until it reaches 120F internal temperature.


Now after about 55 minutes the Tri-tip our has reached 120 degrees and we are going to remove our tri-tip because we are going to finish it off by searing it using our cold grate technique, which will give us a final temperature of 130F. Along with removing your tri-tip you will also remove the grate so that it can cool also if you have the 2.0 Slow 'N Sear you can remove the water reservoir to increase your sear zone (CAUTION: Make sure to use heat resistant gloves) When that’s done, we are also going to place about 3/4 of a chimney of hot charcoal into the SNS in preparation for our final sear.

With our coals hot and ready to go, we are going to place our grill grate back into the grill along with our tri-tip onto the indirect side and then when we are ready to go we will spin our easy spin grate so that our meat is directly over the coals. We are going to be searing these tri-tips using our cold grate technique for 1 minute on each side two times, followed by searing thicker edge for about another 30-60 seconds. Each time we spinning the grate exposing a new section of our cold grate.

Once the Tri Tips have been seared we are going to remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. It is important to slice your tri tip against the grain. We did this by cutting it in half then down toward each point cutting against the grain. This will make for a more tender bit.

Enjoy.

Good comparison! I'm a big fan of dry brining as well. I cooked a dry brined tri tip on my Jumbo Joe a few days ago and it turned out great!

Wow was this Tri Tip ever good! The flavor difference between the two was completely different and the dry brined tri tip was 10x better! Dry brining is a must. The sear also added so much depth and great flavor with every bit! Wow was this ever a winner in my books!

Today for Father's Day I made my first tri tip. For the cook I used a SnS and 22" Weber Kettle, blue bag charcoal and a little bit of apple wood. The roast was a 3lbs choice grade that I dry brined for two days and seasoned with just coarse pepper, granulated garlic and granulated onion. I followed along with this video and the results were f*cking amazing. Thank you guys

I Q’d my first Tri Tip along with my first Picanha on my Weber 26” Kettle two weekends ago. Low & slow @ 225-250 degrees. They were both Amazing! Over 6 pounds of meat was demolished by 4 people for dinner.
They were both hard to find on the East Coast! Guess I need a supplier!
Nice job Jabin. I want to try your rub next.

As a Californian, I’ve been eating tri-tip for most of my life. It’s regularly on sale, around the same price as ground beef for Choice (and I don’t see the need for Prime with this cut). My preference is for a simple Santa Maria-style rub: salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in equal amounts. I’m absolutely sold on dry-brining as you demonstrated, then add the pepper and garlic before grilling. And I use red oak. They sell bags of chunks in front of the grocery stores in the Central Coast area, and I pick up a bag or two whenever I get up there. The traditional meal is tri-tip, salsa, locally-grown pinquito beans, a green salad, and toasty garlic bread — great for sopping up those juices. But don’t get me wrong: I’d eat yours too! And I almost always grill two like you did. The second one makes great sandwiches, dipped in that jus, or a steak salad.

They definitely look different from when you said they were done. You obviously seared them some more. I get it! Look great

My first attempt cooking tri tip I used the exact same technique but in my oven due to the weather outside, and it turned out tasty but incredibly tough. Maybe I’ll try again on my grill sometime.

I made this last night with an overnight dry brine. Everyone LOVED the tri-tip! And I'm loving my SNS, its large capacity makes grilling big cuts like this very easy to sear. Tri-tip is easily one of my most favorite cuts, and my butcher priced this one at $5.89/#. His beef is from High River Angus, which blew away Sam's Club beef in a side by side taste test. (No Costco here in Ocala, bummer!)

No sugar in your rub, good man! I'm from the central coast and have been cooking Tri-tip for over 20 years, pains me when people put pork rub on it lol. Try some Suzy Q Santa Maria-style seasoning and cook it over red oak for an authentic Tri-tip.
