Nobody knows BBQ like WaPo. Way to play into your stereotype.

haha this really blew up

i've reverse seared a tri-tip. it wouldn't fit in my sous vide rig, so i smoked it at low temp and then seared it. it was fine. i'd just as soon reverse sear a chuck eye, honestly.

don't be so sensitive, dude. if i threw some tri-tip on a plate and put it in front of the majority of americans, they'd say "wow, that's some good looking steak you grilled up".

The Sweet Onion in Waynesville makes a tri-tip that's to die for, I'd take that over 99% of traditional restaurant steaks or prime rib anytime.

"I say: Cut out the snobbery and get your facts straight! Barbecue around the world is far too complex and wonderful to be oversimplified like that. It was not invented in the US, and it is not exclusive to the US. Barbecue is a big word that encompasses grilling and many cooking methods as shown in the illustration above. What you are describing is more properly called "Southern Barbecue" or "Low & Slow Smoke Roasting"."

You are being an NC/Southern BBQ/Low & Smoke snob/pedant. BBQ has tons of varieties all around the world and your narrow definition is dumb. Tri-tip is definitely a steak, but steaks can be "BBQed" too.

Quote :

"Named after Santa Maria, California, this is an event at which food is cooked over an open uncovered charcoal or hardwood flame. The food is suspended on a grate than can be raised or lowered with a pulley and crank to control the cooking temperature. The substrate is usually tri-tip (beef sirloin), but can also include everything from clams to artichokes. Beef is always served rare or medium rare at a Santa Maria Barbecue."

I'm not being "sensitive", just "correcting" you for trying (and failing) to "correct" me. And it's TWW and we were due for a debate like this.

At what point does he figure it out?

I can’t force him to Google or read actual words. Maybe never?
