Thread: Tri-tip help needed - pics of Gunny's Tri-tip rub added!

Hey all,

I am looking for a good tri-tip recipe. Anyone have any favorites that they would like to share?


Thanks in advance!

What type of recipe you looking for, spicey, sweet or bolth, also you looking to bbq it or smoker. I got some good one's. Let me know what you want.

sweet would be good as the kiddos (5 and 7) don't like the spicy stuff... It would probably have to be a BBQ thing. I don't have a smoker. (I'm not proud of that.)

This one is my fave,
1 cup brown sugar
1 tspoon paprika
1 tblspoon black pep
21/2 tblspoon salt
1tspoon cayanne
1/2 cup garlic powder
1/2 cup onion powder
1 tspoon chilli powder
blend togeather real well. Since the kids dont like spice the chilli and cayanne can be optional,and you can use less paprika. Add the rub to the meat and let sit for 24-48 hrs, at the end of cooking before removeal, add some johnathan's bbq sauce that has been warm to 190deg for a nice sweet shiney glaze. Damn you got me hungry, i also have more for ribs and chicken if you ever need.

Easiest recipe...

Marinate with Wishbone Italian salad dressing for 2-4 hours and throw in the Weber, basting with marinate to keep from drying out, cooking time depends on thickness of the tri-tip and how rare you want it. garlic salt and pepper the last 10 min. of cooking ..........

My wife and I do this with chicken. Salad dressing and meat go together surprisingly well!

Thanks, that sounds really good. I'll mix up and apply the ingredients tonight. Any cooking times for this?

Dont have the fire to hot or the brown sugar will burn, med heat works good for me, just keep you're eye on them because the sugar.

Waiting on pics!

The one on the bottom is tri-tip #2 going in a freezer bag with rub mix baggie...

Look at all that marbling! That's what makes Tri tip so awesome!

Looks good let me know how you like the recipe for the rub

That rub went over really well! (I did cut back on the chili powder and cayanne pepper.) The kids liked it and the wife loved it! Thanks Gunny from the whole clan...

And here are the pics...

GLAD YOU LIKE IT. is that the walther 9 or 380. makes the tri tip look even better, i got a p22 i've been carrying for the past 3 years, it's my bbq buddy.

Actually, it's neither Walther. It is a prop gun that originally say "spy gun" across the side. I don't have any really cool looking guns like a DW to show off, so I threw out the spy gun just for a lark.

I have closely considered the P22. The seem to be high quality guns for what you pay.

It is realistic looking and I use it to test the kiddos about gun safety. They don't know that it is fake and I will "accidentally" leave it out for them to find. They have always done great.

Looking good Mark! Mmmm I loves me some fresh Corn!

if you ever consider buying one and want to shoot one first PM me, you could shoot mine. well meet at the range or on the MT. GUNNY OUT.

Nice! Thanks for the offer Gunny.
