Tri Tip Question

[ASUCHRIS]

Have never made tri tip...slow cook, vs. fast cook? Cook it like a steak, or like a roast? I've read a bit about it online and it sounds like you could do either. Any good recipe/prep ideas?

Smoke it!

Definitely slow cook it. I've cooked it on the grill several times using indirect heat. You want the internal temp to be between 145-155. Slice across the grain not with it. I marinade it for a least 24 hrs with sesame seed oil, soy, korean szechuan sauce, garlic, onions, & a little sugar. Comes out awesome.

I thought it should be served medium rare?

That's what I ended up doing...cutting it into steaks and grilling it medium rare, cutting across the grain. Turned out pretty well. I'd be interested to give it a go with slow cooking, maybe try that next time.
