This is a super popular cut on the west coast, mainly in California, and has been a long requested video from y'all. I've been seeing more of them in the grocery store lately and dedcided it was time to do it. For this video I seasoned it up with the APC Brisket rub which is hitting the shelves very, very soon!

The Tri-Tip is also called the "Triangle Steak" due to the three corners, and another popular name for it is the "Santa Maria Steak" and the "California Cut"

I've also seen a lot of people call it the "Poor Man's Brisket" which makes me think... WHAT? It's nothing like a brisket at all ๐Ÿ˜‚

One thing about Tri-Tip is that one side is quite a bit thinner than the other, so it can be a challenge to get an even temperature...hey, maybe that's why they say it's "like" a brisket ๐Ÿค”

Now let's fire it up and cook us a Tri-Tip!
