Great looking food there. TT is a great flavorful cut of beef, and you cooked it perfectly it seems.

I do want to point out that you did slice with the grain, and you want to slice against the grain.

Of course the flavor remains the same you just get a bit more chew to the meat. Try slicing this way next time and I think you will be much happier, if that is possible(which I know it is because I love me some Tri-tip). Cut the red line, and slice the blue lines. There, I just gave you an excuse to have to cook another one.

I've been grilling tri tips for 30 years and have never paid attention to the split grain. Never was a problem, but now I'm eager to slice my next one.

I cooked them for a few years before paying attention to the grain direction while slicing. So fwiw the grain is not a deal breaker. Good luck and let me know if you notice a difference.
 
Thanks for the constructive criticism all, thought I did it right. I'll pay more attention next time.... WHB
 
The grain can be very tricky on these .... Guess it matters on the individual cut.. WHB
 
Thanks again to all for the help and suggestions... For first TT, I think overall it turned out pretty decent. Like I said before, I now know the craze over TT's and will be doing more of these without a doubt. I had a lot of fun.... :yahoo: Justin (WHB)
