Im a texan living in california, you can do this with the cheapest cut, briskets are extra expensive here, but tri tip is still affortable, been doing this for years, I put salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs and garlic seasoning mix, smoke around 225 to 250 for a few hours really doesnt matter about spikes, take it wrap in foil or butcher paper, toss some butter sometimes if its a little leaner to add fat, and finish in the oven at 225ish for a few more hours and rest. Its not a delicate meat, its very forgiving, long as its lowish and slow, itll turn out great, tri tip is the kind of smoke you can get drunk and itll still be great.

@jgartrell3687 Год назад

Same, I absolutely love smoked tritip. Choice is all that’s available near me but they are typically pretty thick and have a 1/4-1/2 inch fatcap that renders beautifully. Some people are too stupid to realize their way is not the only way.

@chrisditsworth9861 Год назад

I did it once and injected the Tri tip with wagyu tallow. It turned out great, but I did hear from a couple people that it’s not the proper way to grill Tri tip

@obnoxiousvodka 3 месяца назад

you also cut with the grain on the larger end, you need to change the slice at a 90 degree angle on the "thicker" end of the tri tip

@justinharrison5159 Год назад

I'm glad you're trying this Cook brother I've done this dozens of times. Choice grade works fine, no brine needed. I knock it out in 5 hours. Wrap with foil, add some beef broth, comes out perfect every time

@brandtmiles2373 Год назад

I usually cook tri tip hot and fast over charcoal. Definitely wanna try this method with the right cut

@woaglass10 Год назад

Tri-tip cooked as a brisket, choice tri-tip (with fat cap and trim points and edges to a thickness consistency and keep a 1/8" or so fat cap) then I usually inject it with tallow season with SPG and set it aside for an hour while I warm the pit. I use either a charcoal gravity or pellet pit (wood pits are just a bit to hot for that little tri-tip).. pre-warm to 230. After I place the tri-tip in a drop the temp to 210-220. Once I hit 175-180 I'll wrap in paper with a helping of tallow. While I'm wrapping the tri-tip I'll raise the pit to 230. After I'm done with the tri-tip I'll put it back on and finish it at 200-203. I'll pull off and counter rest for a couple of hours (170 or so) then set in my warmer at 155 for 6-8 hours.

@txfieros Год назад

Done it with a prime grade from our H‑E‑B grocery several times with all the fat trimmed off the surface. Always a good result cooked like a brisket but I usually wrap a bit earlier than I would a brisket and always in foil. Every time it has been good. Much like a tender brisket flat that chews easily and is not dry. I don’t think the expensive meat is necessary or injecting if you are OK with having a good brisket flat style consistency. When you don’t want to wait for a long brisket cook but are ok with having flat style brisket, this is a great choice. Money wise it doesn’t make sense but the small size is convenient.

The Butt family is against taking the company public. Although there is a lot of pressure. I think that would ruin HEB if they did that.

@Keasbeysknight Год назад

People commenting and smoking it for a few hours and not bringing it up to full "brisket temp" of 180-190 + are not cooking it like a brisket or doing what he is doing. Just smoking it at a low temp for a few hours can still get it to the 120-130F range that most people want it or maybe they just like their steaks in the more 140-150 medium to well done range. I personally wouldnt want to cook this or picanha this way, even with the super high fat content, this muscle doesnt have the same qualities as a pork shoulder or a brisket that makes it so fatty and tender when cooked at that length of time. Great video, great experiment. cook it how you want people, just understand what the difference is.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

Yep I agree, cook it how you want! I'm also kind of confused about how so many people are getting good results smoking this cut like a brisket. Even with a wagyu the results were not amazing. But I have an open mind and respect other people's experiences so I'm willing to be proven wrong.

@jasonsams4258 Год назад

I smoked a choice one from Walmart like a brisket and it came out awesome. Believe it or not the choice ones by me are really well marbled. I prefer a tri tip medium but i was really surprised how good it was taking it all the way.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

That's awesome! Choice is hit or miss. I could get a really crappy lower grade choice that's closer to select or a super well marbled one that's basically prime grade. CAB is a good bet to get an upper grade choice. Alot of experts are recommending CAB or other labels that guarantee their beef is top third of choice for marbling. It's even more confusing because all the grading is from the ribeye and that doesn't always translate exactly to the marbling in the brisket.

@michaelclancy4509 Год назад

I love 135 but my son in law cooks tri tip to 203 and I like both.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

@davidboggs3057 2 месяца назад

@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956 Год назад

Next try it with a picanha or even better a leg of lamb, the lamb is a game changer when cooked to 203 trust me, remember to rest the same as a brisket it’s phenomenal

@jeffreycollier1805 Год назад

I've smoked select and choice tri-tips with no problems. It's no necessary to buy prime or wague. The best one I smoked was a Costco seasoned in the bag type. Incredible. It's as good or possibly a little better than traditional brisket. Especially because it doesn't take very long to cook to perfect tenderness. Id recommend a hot and fast type cook for tri-tips and definitely in a sealed bag with the marinade already inside.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

Are you taking them all the way to 200+ to finish or just smoking them and reverse searing to medium rare?

@jeffreycollier1805 Год назад

@@SmokeTrailsBBQ all the way to 200°. I usually smoke at 250 or 275 to 285 for beef ribs and use your method for holding overnight in the oven lately, which is fantastic by the way. Tri-tip and 6hrs at about 275 or so, being wrapped at color preference, produces an exact copy of a brisket in a fraction of time and money for a family of 4 or so. That's my approach and it's a definite alternative when you don't have time to dedicate to a brisket. Try it out. Try to find a Costco marinated and vacuum sealed piece or marinate and seal yourself for a great piece of meat and quick cook. Pull the temp up to a point that at 3 hrs your color is right and do your wrapping in butcher paper and put back on for the last 2.5hrs. let the last few minutes be for drying and resetting the bark.

@williammyers5218 3 месяца назад

I’ve been smoking tri-tip like a brisket for well over 30 years. That’s the only way I cook it. Nothing new to me. I’ve never had any problems with it drying out or had to inject it.

@michaelstewart9366 Год назад

I smoke a lot of Costco prime tri tips. Always smoke them like a brisket but only go out to 190-195 injection helps

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

@pistolpete8518 Год назад

A trick is to get one with the fat cap still on it, but most of them are trimmed off by the meat cutter. I agree they are generally dry, but a good “single serve” brisket if you need a fix, but a far cry from the real deal. My family’s favorite is reverse seared, but I take it to temp on the smoker to get some extra flavor. Nice work Steve!

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

Thanks! Yea I like them reverse seared as well. I tried to really keep an open mind with this video though because ALOT of people really like cooking this cut like a brisket.

@robertgruen2088 Год назад

Suggestion: Par-smoke a brisket with steam injection to develop the deep bark, cut the brisket into family sized portions, vacuum bag and freeze, then thaw and sous vide to finish the cooking. Curious if it would compare you your home made holding chest.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

That would be interesting!

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

Is that just to medium rare though?

@obnoxiousvodka 3 месяца назад

choice grade will give you a better result. it's the collagen that renders to gelatin and not the fat rendering that gives you the tender and "juicy" smoked meat in the end. try pulling it off the smoker at internal temp of 150 then add beef tallow and wrap in foil or paper and return to smoker to finish at 205 internal. rest until 150 internal then slice. wireless meat thermometers that monitor internal and ambient temps will give you the best results

@777Dorado Год назад

@davidw7531 Год назад

@bobby350z Год назад

@blueone117 Год назад

Yeah that looked like a prime tri tip not a wagyu. It was criminally trimmed at the processor as well. Zero fat cap?? Gotta try one with a fat cap instead of the one you did

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

Might have been from a smaller cow, not sure. It very well could have been equivalent to prime grade. Wagyu isn't a grade - it's just normally alot better marbled than a typical prime grade angus cut of beef (but not always)

@misinformationwithrandy Год назад

Would freezing or par-freezing with a target of 132°F get you there? Or maybe injection of tallow for a regular tri-tip work?

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

You mean start at a lower temp to get better bark? It will give you more smoke flavor but i dont get really dark bark with anything unless i take it to 170+.. Tallow injection could be interesting.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

I put it right in the holding chest

@CoolJay77 Год назад

I've cooked Prime grade Tri Tip couple times, the dryness compared to a brisket flat. However in my opinion, any beef muscle that can be cooked to medium rare and remain tender, will be wasted if cooked like a brisket. The only reason some cuts such as beef cheeks or briskets are cooked to the extent that they are, is because they would be too tough to eat when cooked to medium rare. I enjoy cooking briskets, but I'll take a grilled medium rare steak any day over a brisket. I realize not every BBQ fan agrees with me on this.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

@henryverniz7852 Год назад

7:26 I see a lot of liquid on the bottom of that smoker. Does the smoker come with a drain or opening of sort to get those taken out? And was that intentional for steam to circulate or it was accumulated mix of water, fat and everything from a lot of cook?

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

@duanehenicke6602 Год назад

HEB here in Texas sells them with the fat cap still intact. Why so many other suppliers cut it completely off puzzles me. I've never brisket cooked one, only the reverse sear. But i would imagine fat cap on would make the brisket style way better. Maybe I'll try one one day 🤔

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Год назад

I need to get one with a fatcap!

@duanehenicke6602 Год назад

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Well, i finally brisket smoked one. It was a struggle with 105 temp on my covered porch. Took a little longer than i expected. 3 lbs out of the package. Light trim on the "meat" side. Little thin on the long tip end. (Was folded over in the package) Took that off. Scored fat cap. Little mustard and some Goldees brisket rub. 180° for 2 hrs, then bumped up to 225. (Pellet grill) Turned over every 2 hrs for first half of cook. 1 hr turns halfway through, along with some mop. Right at 7 hrs to get it to 200. Then wrapped and held it overnight. If i had been blindfolded, i would tell you i was eating brisket flat. Rendered fat on top was welcomed. Could you smoke just the flat of a brisket and have the same experience? I think so. I can purchase a prime full-packer brisket for $4.00 lb. PrimTri-tip is $8.00 lb. Think I'll stick with the reverse sear method. Lot less time. More of a "steak" flavor. And it shrinks less and goes further. Normally can feed 5 eaters with one Tri-tip. Ate half of this one in one sitting. 😳
