Costa Mesa Comp Dinner 6-8-12 Strube Wagyu Goodness!

Tia Strube was kind enough to send me a strip loin and 4 tri tips for the comp dinner in Costa Mesa California...this being where I grew up there were lots of great old friends...so I needed meat!

I heated the MAK One Star up to 250

Then I trimmed the Strube Wagyu and used Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce as glue and Big Poppa Money as the rub.


On to the One Star on the Shelf

Tri tip reverse seared on the Hasty Bake....pellets too this is the sear section

Section of the Tri Tip

A plate of Strube Strip Loin Magic

A "small" plate for a friends wife who was sick and couldn't make it


I would give this ten stars ...it was that good the money and the sriracha and the MAK smoke were unbeatable in the flavor profile department.

that's awesome looking, my anniversary is Monday and I think that i need to go get a strip

It does look perfect! The idea to use the sriracha as the glue I like a lot,especially on the Tri Tip.

Great looking eats BP!

Did anyone complain about the heat from the sriracha? Or did it tone down as it cooked?

Sriracha? Interesting. I'll have to try that!

Got my attention!

The heat was pretty much gone...just great flavor

Looks Great!!!! I've had a bottle sitting around in the cabinet for a long time, you and STC are really inspiring to use it more!

Looks like perfection to me !
