I’m guessing they were each closer to 20-22 ounces. They were three fingers thick…pinky, ring, and middle though…that makes them “petite“. They came out fantastically! A nice medium rare, with a thin sear layer.What’s considered petite? Only 16 ounces?

I truly love me a tri tipGrilled a Tri-Tip tonight. From what I understand those of you on the West Coast know what that is. It's a fairly new cut of beef here in the Midwest. I like it. I started by seasoning it Wednesday with a salt/pepper/Onion powder and garlic powder rub. Wrap it in stretch and stuck is fridge till tonight. Tonight I did a reverse sear on it. Cook low and slow to about 105-110 internal. Take off and let rest. Crank up the grill. Sear. Serve. Yummy.
Both outside burners on. Two inside burners off. Grill temperature about 250 degrees.

For the record. One of the better pots of chili I’ve made in recent years. Just the right amount of heat.First crockpot of chili for the season. Grilled the onion, poblanos and steak to toss in the pot. Of course I’d pick the day where it’s 34f degrees. Snowing. But us Illinois boys are tough. We don’t let a little in-climate weather keep us from our appointed grilling.

[/URL]Temperatures are dropping in a hurry in northern Illinois. I can still grill. No problem. Well except for those single digits days with wind chill below zero. I’m not that brave. But smoking gets pretty difficult once the bottom drops out on the temperature.
