Reverse Seared Tri Ti - Competition Tri Tip Recipe

WHAT MALCOM USED IN THIS RECIPE:

Kendal Adair stopped by the HowtoBBQRight headquarters this week to show me how he does a reverse seared tri tip competition style.

We both competed against each other earlier this year at a local SCA contest where tri tip was one of the categories. He walked with a top finish in Tri Tip, so needless to say, I was eager to learn his secrets.

For this recipe Kendal starts with a 3lb, Prime Grade Tri Tip from Matador Prime Steak. Starting with a good quality piece of beef puts you on the right foot, but you also have to know how to properly cook it.

After a quick trim to remove any excess fat and silver skin, Kendal hit the tri tip with a good dose of coarse ground Kosher Salt. He uses the salt as a dry brine and only leaves it on the tri tip for 8-10 minutes. The salt is rinsed off and then he tenderizes it using a jaccard.

Next comes the seasonings where he builds the flavor. First a dose of Killer Hogs AP Seasoning for savory salt, pepper, garlic notes; then a spicy BBQ Rub – my Killer Hogs Hot Rub here, followed lastly with coarse ground black pepper for a little more oomph.

The cook was pretty straight forward for a reverse sear. Fire up a smoker to 275⁰, insert a meat probe to monitor temp, and take it off the smoke once it hits 115⁰. We used the Thermoworks DOT to monitor the temps.

Any pit can be used for this cook as long as the temperature stays in the 250-275 range. Kendal used my Traeger for this stage of the cook and while the tri tip was in the smoke he fired up a PK 360 for the sear. And we used a set of GrillGrates on top of the factory grate to get those amazing grill marks.

As soon as the tri tip hit 115⁰ internal, he immediately moved it to the grill grates on the PK and put a hot and fast sear on both sides. The tri tip came off the PK once the internal hit 125⁰ but you can cook it to your desired doneness. To check out final internal temp, we used my trusty Thermoworks Thermapen.

After a short 10 minute rest, Kendal sliced it across the grain and we dove in for the kill bite.

The thing that most impressed me with this cook was the tenderness of the tri tip. The combination of the salt brine and jaccard tenderizing produced a prime rib-like mouth feel. Tri tip tends to be a little tough if it’s not properly prepared but this version melted in your mouth!

I used this recipe for my 1st Tri Tip on my Grilla Grill. The flavor and tenderness of the meat was fantastic!! I can't wait to grill another one. Also, just ordered more A.P. / BBQ Rub. This stuff is great!

I Like the salt and rinse technique. Not fancy but effective. I Love the Killer hogs AP, HOT, and regular rubs I have them all. That AP goes on everything. Temperatures are very important and it helps when you tell us what they are when you go to the next step. Malcom always comes through with a good cook. As always thanks Malcom and friends!

This one I do myself on my Lil' Tex Elite (old school) when they came with stainless door and stack cap, upgraded with a "Savannah Stoker" Controller
, but I cook at 225⁰ and pull it at 110⁰. Give a few minutes sear on each side and pull it between 125⁰ - 130⁰ depending on size, transfer it to a foil pan and cover with foil/dish towel.

Turn the grill down to one burner on low (aprox. 200⁰) and watch the temp on your probe to see how high it goes, every Tri-Tip cooks different. The more fat inside the slower it comes to temp inside. If doesn't reach your preferred finished temp, put it back on the grill (INDIRECT) in the covered pan until the temp gets within 5⁰ or so depending on size and how far away the temp was when it peaked while resting.

Followed this method exactly and had some serious success, after I finally got myself a real deal texas style, off set smoker grill! I made this recipe and it came out perfect. My family absolutely loved it! After years of hit or miss using this or that grill, even smoking in an electric and steering everything with propane grill, in attemp to fake the funk, this nails it.
Thank you!!! Subscribed, and I can't wait to try the next recipe

Made me hungry with this video for sure!! I tend to lean toward the untrimmed tri-tip most of the time unless I'm using my electric smoker only. Thanks for the video, keep it up and we'll all be cooking better!!

I’ve bbq’d Tri Tip several times, but NEVER saw one with a fat cap. I’ll be looking for this as I like the fat and the flavor it renders. Another great video. Thanks Malcolm.

Followed your technique exactly (for the rub I used salt, pepper, garlic powder and chili powder). Family said it was the best they’d had so far. Thank you!
