PTG Tri-Tip

[muebe]

Started with a frozen Tri-Tip seasoned with Instant Gourmet Original...

Put the PID on the PTG in manual mode at 10% power. That resulted in a 180F temp range and constant output of smoke...

I put the Tri-Tip on while frozen. I had to bump up the PID up to 12% power to maintain the same 180F temp range due to the cold from the Tri-tip robbing heat...

After a few hours the IT of the Tri-Tip reached 100F. I then bumped up the temp on the PID in automatic mode to 500F and gave the meat a 15 minute sear...

After a 20 minute rest it was on to slicing...

Plated with Mac N Cheese and Hawaiian rolls...

I'm not sure which looks better; the steak or the mac & cheese, but I do wish I hadn't looked at this. Now I'm starving!

By looking at your pictures I am impressed. Maybe I have been a food snob and have been overlooking the merits of pre-seasoned frozen meats as I rarely use frozen till a recent catering where the fresh Prime Ribeye Roasts I had smelled funny the morning of the event and all I could find were frozen. Scrambling I used a method of low heat similar to yours and when thawed bumped the temp to high and they were really good. Looking at the juicy Tri Tip you produced and my one forced experiment I might have to play with frozen more. Your Tip looked great and hope it tasted as good.
