Smoke envy..once again..

[bbqgoddess]

Ok so I was really tired after such a busy race w/e....
started reading posts..then it hit me...
SMOKE ENVY I hate it when that happens!!
so I took out a tri tip and did a quick defrost...
here are the culprits in this smoke...

For the injection....
rc cola reduced


Fennel & corriander seeds toasted...then ground and added to the rc cola reduction....plus the Smittys!........YUMMY


Now the rub....Earl grey tea & the turbinado sugar (thank you all for the rave reviews on this sugar!) held on with some molassas...



right before going in


I am using oak and some fig..for the smoke
more to come..I am taking her to 135....this time!! lol!

Wow..careful something don't explode during mixing there! Gotta say...never heard of a mix of that before. Hmmm bet it gives a nice, thick sweet bark. Not for me, but it seems many do love that. Keep us posted pleeze :{)

 

[flash]

looks good..........so.........who won the race??

Sorry for the late post.. all of us neighbors are bbq-u-ing and we are all making the rounds.. I went to the neighbors house for a minute..and then I came back and my tri was at 149* da mn! so once again
I have over done a tri....ok I hate tri now!
here are the finals...everyone one on the block said it was delicious...to me it was way over done...
The molassas gave it a real rich flavor the earl gray tea a wonderful subtle undertone...the inside had just the right amount of heat with a good balance of sweet from the reduced soda..and the fennel was a great added bit of yummy ..it was a yummy piece of meat had I not over cooked it....next time.....



sliced......

OMG, BBQG how do you come up with this stuff? That looks great! another post like that and ill have to dry my keyboard!. Nice choice on the earl grey.

 

[smoking gun]

Nice lookin smoke BBQG. I hate when that happens you're shooting for a lower temp and something comes up and before you know it you've overshot. I did that with some ribeyes earlier. how was the fennel seed flavoring on this tri? I love the taste of fennel but if it's too strong it tastes too much like italian sausage for me. Not that I don't like Italian sausage. lol After all I'm a meatatarian. :)
