How to Smoke Tri-Tip Like a Brisket

[@V83759]

I love seeing Texans with such a passion for BBQ and food❤

[@TdSharp]

One of my favorite things to make on the smoker. Just the right amount of food for my family and a much shorter cook than a brisket

[@cescobar52]

I am surprised as too how many people haven’t done this. I tried smoked Tri Tip before I tried brisket. You need both in your life!

[@kennycraven2648]

Never thought about smoking a tri, but makes sense especially for smaller gatherings where a brisket is too much.

[@susancornish5386]

Did a tri tip yesterday like we do our brisket. WOW we were so amazed. Brought it to 185° the wrapped it for a few hours. Very tender. We couldn't afford brisket but the tip was very affordable. Thank you

[@robertensign8786]

What is funny, is here in California tritip sis more expensive than brisket. But in Texas and other parts of the country it’s the opposite.

[@Geoflect]

Yea where I am tritip is more $ per pound but less meat

[@full95one]

I've never cooked a brisket. I never wanted to spend all that money just to mess up brisket. So I "learned" or practiced rather cooking brisket using Tri tip. I friggen love Tri tip. I never made the switch to trying to cook brisket.

[@tartpapaya]

u should tri it 😂

[@SVTeel]

I cooked one yesterday on a Weber Smokey Mountain with coals and wood at the bottom and no water pan at about 300 degrees for two hours of smoke. I then pulled the center section off and placed the grate above the coals for a sear. It turned out perfect with my homemade chimichurri sauce.

[@WalkerSmallEnginePerformance]

Looks amazing. I typically buy choice tri-tip at Costco. They're always well trimmed. The prime does look good though; I need to try it. I apply salt and whatever rub I am using then wrap it in foil and let it sit in the refrigerator 1-2 nights. Then cook it indirect with a little smoke. It is sort of in between cooking it over the coals and a slow cook. They always comes out awesome. Cut them super thin on a meat slicer too; takes it to another level.

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

Typically, I smoke mine at 200 degrees until it reaches 120 degrees. From there I let it rest until the temp is back under 100 degrees. Then, I turn my Yoder Smoker up to 600 degrees and finish it off back up to 125 and pull it. Heaven!

[@tarnis3d]

I'm glad you tried it, one of my favorite cooks. Some said picanna would do the same but wasn't even close. Maybe I do this again over the weekend!

[@saaskwatch5537]

If you wrap it at 3 hrs…its usually a 4 to 4 1/2 hr cook. And you can do 2 or even three and it won’t change cook time.

[@roderickmarruffo7600]

Well thank you very much, I just drooled all over my computer desk. Another awesome video Arnie...!

[@gordo1230]

A big hello from southern Califas!! I love your style with the grill an Mexican recepies.. today I'm doing a tri tip on my treager

[@Kickstart500]

I’m about to do my second one of these. First one was excellent. I am using better than bouillon straight out the jar as a binder. Then some hickory smoked salt and black pepper..

[@rickguerrero2282]

Nice video, Arnie! I have not had good luck with Tri tip……..but I recently started smoking it for 2 hours, then braising it in beef broth in an aluminum pan (sealed with Saran Wrap & foil) in the oven for 2 hours.

[@lance4217]

Nice Work AT looks like you Nailed It! I like Smoke’n Triskets on my Green Mountain with a Fire Box in the Corner Burning Wood Chunks Just for a little more Real Wood Flavor, They’re Hard to Beat🔥🔥🍺

[@Diana-xm1dm]

You're a professional speaker and food looks amazing. God Bless!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

What a great looking tri tip. Cheers, Arnie! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

[@ChefDavidL]

Seems like you had more than one piece before bedtime 😊looks good! Can’t wait to try this method

[@ibbob31]

At what temperature did you wrap it? Thanks

[@ArnieTex]

will have to go back and check, didn't notice right off it was not in the video. tnx

[@christophernorden8573]

I make mine like a brisket and it’s way better that way. I do mine on a Weber offset and it’s amazing. I have old school smoker’s but it’s cheaper on the Weber

[@carolhieter3916]

That really looks good! Makes my mouth water! 😊

[@fishhead991]

I do tri-tip on my offset all the time now it is the only to cook it, better than santa maria style.

[@royedwards2735]

That looks great Arnie!! Will be smoking one of these real soon! Thanks for the video!!

[@bradcampbell624]

Perfect example that one method is not the only method. I'm still looking for ways to improve my grilled or smoked fish, especially smaller bass and larger blue gill, crappie too. Suggestions?

[@morenoanglers9800]

My wife and I love cooking TRI tip like a brisket 🤤

[@bencarlos2555]

OMG! That looks soooooo good!

[@corazondemelon8374]

Love Tri-Tip but cant grill at my apts.😒 Do you have a recipe for cooking one in the oven.😊❤

[@jennyg3876]

Try it in the air fryer it's a delicious option 😊

[@BrianSafdari10]

I wish when the video say, “how to smoke a tri-tip, the video actually showed step by step how this meat was cooked. It didn’t show anything other than trimming and then put in the smoker and then taken out.

[@user-os7mr8yk5v]

Where can I get some of your recipes

[@rudevalve]

Certified Gold!!!!!

[@chuckbradley6887]

My buddy from California preaches tri-tip on the grill so now I’m going to have to put one on the smoker. How much time per pound at 250?

[@arturogomezjr8899]

When did you warp it?

[@MP-kl5ej]

Great video Arnie!

[@Louie_Ponce_Motography]

Love that this guy sounds like a Tio!!

[@TwistedGorillaFab]

Sitting by my Kettle and she’s 138 degrees 2hrs in. Wrapping at 160. Anyone use butcher to wrap? Great vid and I do the same on the timing thing 😂

[@MichaelNugentDDSPasadena]

Great video Arnie!!!!!!

[@Whatisit_1999]

I love bbq!! Looks great.

[@gabeskee210]

Hey Arnie. so long was this cook after all? Thx

[@bobbalkovec]

Im taking notes

[@snow_clan]

That mustache is epic brah!!!!!!

[@FrazierMtnCheese]

Arnie, that's a great looking tri tip, I'm going to pick one up and try it. Would you suggest wrapping it in paper?

[@ArnieTex]

I would have used paper but was getting late, the foil helps speed up the cooking process.

[@frankiefranco5681]

Subscribed !! Awesome videos.

[@rossstevenson6206]

I love Arnie

[@BrisketMedic]

Nom nom nom nom nom nom

[@jackfishin27]

Where did you buy the Tritip

[@bullard73]

I do it exactly like a brisket and it takes just like a brisket

[@frankp8763]

So people out here really thinking you eat a whole buffet of grilled beef you cooked or something? lol

[@ArnieTex]

yes I get that comment often lol. one of these days I need to do a "look at my freezer meats" video lol, its's full of vac pak'd meats in spite that I give so much away.

[@rubenbenitez8225]

Damn looks delicious. Great job

[@chrisa8203]

What is the meat probe you are using?

[@patrickmurray9409]

I like a horseradish mustard for mine,a little flavor. Now I live by myself, too much for later . Damn

[@VulcanLogic]

Sorry Arnie, it's just not my favorite cut. I'd rather do the brisket or if budgeting, a coulotte roast (picanha). But I'd definitely give this method a go with those cuts.

[@TruOnyxfire]

This gave me anxiety to watch a gorgeous tri-tip being murdered to 150+ degrees... this is medium-well territory. I can't even begin to imagine beef more than medium rare. It's, literally, a crime in our household.

[@BigSteve93015]

You are welcome, and now you know.

[@jessicacampos9164]

Where did you purchase that carving knife?

[@ArnieTex]

It's a Wusthoff 10% slicer , picked it up at a local bbq shop, also available online at at several websites

[@jessicacampos9164]

@@ArnieTex thank you.

[@mattandrew4614]

Do you sell your rubs to the United Kingdom UK?????

[@ArnieTex]

not yet but would love to find a distributor in so many places, thanks

[@SnakePlisskkenn]

Ese tri tip es de HEB!😊😊

[@leedoss6905]

Nope hot grilled and rare for me. But to each their own.

[@Ahglock]

I usually smoke my tri tips, taking it to medium rare. I just can't bring myself to take it to 200+ like a brisket.

[@calzadafamily6204]

do noy slow cook this cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@google_must_die]

No this is blasphemy. Tri tip is meant to be cooked medium rare. Cooking it like a brisket dries it out because it doesn’t have the connective tissue and fat content to break down like a brisket. Smdh. This is sad 😢

[@TheGunther30]

did you actually watch the video?? that thing was ridiculously moist and juicy

[@google_must_die]

@@TheGunther30 It’s not a tender cut of beef when it’s over cooked. That’s why it has to be medium rare. Say what you want about Californians, but we perfected this cut of beef over 100 years ago and this would get a Texan laughed out of a bbq comp or cookout.

[@olyprospecting6419]

After trying both ways, I prefer it smoked over Santa Maria style. You should try it before you knock it. Glad I have an open mind to try different things. Whew!

[@izuki1245]

I live in California and I've cooked direct heat and indirect personally I prefer the infirect method I usually cook it for about 3 to 4 hours with charcoal,and hickory or apple wood, untrimmed fat cap up all through the process and it always comes out tender and juicy

[@javiermolina7781]

Ooooooh weeeeeeee…..

[@djchloe1597]

Lol! it says translate to English under your comment and when I click it it takes one of the e's away 😂
