Tri Tip on the PK Grill

Tri Tip on the Classic PK Grill. Of course you can cook tri-tip on any grill you like - but the PK is a two zone cooking machine, and perfect for cooking some really great tri tip. And take it from me, someone who lived in Santa Maria, CA for many, many years, and have had my fill of tri-tip! OKAY, OKAY - the true Santa Maria way is to cook it on a Santa Maria grill over a red oak fire. I know this. I used to own a really great Santa Maria grill that I sadly had to leave behind when I left Santa Maria. But, truth be told, I nine times out of ten, I would cook tri tip on my Weber kettle, because it was more convenient, and-- well-- the results rivaled much of the traditionally cooked tri-tip anyway. SO, once I got a PK and saw how well it did two zone indirect cooking, it was a no brainer that the PK was going to be a tri-tip monster! So here we go: Ingredients: Really all you need is a good tri tip and some seasoning. For the tri tip, I would try and find a good size one. Even if you're not feeding a ton of people, I find the results are best with tri-tips 2lb and up trimmed (meaning, weight not including fat cap). On the subject of fat cap, there is a lot of debate whether it should be there or not. I'm in the no fat cap camp. Most tri-tip I've encountered in Santa Maria was, in fact, trimmed (even though I hear many folks claim that fat cap on is "true" Santa Maria. Not in my experience). If you feel strongly that the fat cap should remain, go for it, though, it's totally a matter of preference. The seasoning, I used Susie-Q Santa Maria seasoning. This is the stuff everyone and their mother uses in Santa Maria. No joke, there was a hiccup in production once, and when a pallet finally showed up at Costco it got mobbed like it was water in Mad Max. Anyhow, this stuff is basically just SPG (salt pepper garlic), so feel free to go that route, or use your favorite seasoning. I like to let it sit overnight in the fridge after I've seasoned, if I can help it. If not, well.. you gotta do what you gotta do. Cooking is pretty straight forward indirect method with a sear at the beginning. As I said in the video, feel free to reverse sear. Traditionally it would be over an open fire all the time, so... whatever works! Then just move it over to the indirect side and let it cook until it hits about 130 internal. I shoot for a little bit more done than medium rare. Because of the dimension of the tri tip, this usually gives a variety a done-ness for your guests. Also, I like rare steak, but tri-tip just works a little better when it is more medium. But, as always, do what makes you happy. Now the hard part: once it's off the grill you need it let it rest for about 20-30 mins. It looks so good, but resist the urge, you will be rewarded! Joking aside, after the resting period, go ahead and cut it against the grain. This is important because if you cut with the grain it will be tough to eat, and no fun at all. Against the grain will be tender and easy to chew slices (great in sandwiches!). You'll see I do a little trick where I cut it in half after I've carved a bit. This makes it easier to manage, and also you will probably have to rotate one of the pieces to keep cutting against grain, because it will take a turn on you. For serving - I'm pretty happy just snacking off the cutting board. If you want to be true Santa Maria, it usually comes with salsa, pinquinto beans, a little salad, and some garlic bread. It's also frequently served as sandwiches, and folks use either salsa or BBQ sauce as condiments. Serve it however you like though -- those things remind me of "home". And of course, you could just pick it up and eat it. Haven't shot anything in a while - been busy and weather is not cooperative, but hopefully I will have a new video for y'all soon. Let me know in the comments if there is anything in particular you'd like to see.... Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed the video.
