Reverse-seared Tri-tip and chorizo-cheddar jalapeno poppers

[FLBentRider]

Went to whole foods today, they had tri-tip on sale, so I picked one up

I hit it with some BP double secret steak rub

Some jalapeno peppers, stuffed with chorizo and cheddar cheese, wrapped in bacon

Everyone on the MAK 2 star #106 with BD Mesquite pellets, on SMOKE until the IT is 100F

Moved to the warming area, then set the MAK to HIGH and installed grill grates
Back on the fire

Thick end IT was 120F, pulled it to rest.

Sliced

Plated with the poppers, and sauteed onions and mushrooms
A blue moon and some Starnes rounds out the meal

The tri-tip was fantastic. The heat level of the peppers ranged from "is there a pepper in there?" to "yeah!"
some of the cheese melted out of them and ended up on the tri-tip, it was an added bonus.

Oh man, now that's what I'm talking about! Love the tri-tip & really love those poppers.

We've done chili-cheese (with beef) poppers and love 'em, but your chorizo & cheese stuffed then bacon-wrapped poppers look even better! I am so copying those!
