Tri-talian Beef Tip sliders

Meant to start this last night, but it was damp, windy and cold. Today is just windy and cold.

(forgive the first 2 blurry shots, somebody turned off the auto-focus on my camera )

CAB tri-tip, after the hack job I did trimming it.



Rubbed down with some Wooster and Louie's Italian Beef seasoning.



Onto the MAK over the direct/indirect flame zone. Running around 275° at the grate.



I'm going to take it to 140° or so, rest a bit, then slice against the grain.

Getting some color, time to flip.




And about 25 minutes later (dang these cook fast), I get a 145° reading. I didn't want to stab it anymore, so we'll call it close enough.





Wrapped tight in foil and resting in the microwave for a while. Then after some fridge time, a sharp knife and a cutting board, Part II continues.. Kinda hard not to tear into it now. Stupid time change.

Tri-talian Beef Tip sliders cont..

After some microwave/fridge time, I sliced it up. (crappy phone pics)





Line the slow cooker with Pepperoncinis.



Then the beef.




Mix the pepperoncini juice with some of this.




Kind of a funky green slurry.




Partially cover the beef with the hot mix, and dump in the rest of the peppers.



Lid on, set to 'Low' and let it ride for 4 hours or so..

BBL.

Got the real camera out.

Getting closer..

Going 'open face' tonight..

Topped with some of the Louie's Au Jus + pickled pepper juice + foil drippings for gravy.

Squirt,
That looks soooo good! I just bought a meat slicer, and Italian beef is on my list to try. I have two corned beefs thawing now that I will turn into some pastrami, soon. My first real test of the slicer.

Squirt that looks awesome man!! I would have to get out the fat pants if I started eating that! I don't think I could stop until it hurt.

Thanks! Actually, it could be a pretty light meal (minus the carbs). Whole wheat dinner rolls, the tri-tip is pretty lean, and the fake box potatoes were made with skim milk.

Next time, I'll smoke 2 tri-tips. We demolished that little one. Just enough scraps left over from the Au Jus for a killer Maid-Rite..

Nice sandwiches Squirt!

Man those look great! Nice job

I like the looks of that open face sandwich topped with the taters. YUM!
