I am starting to get excited for the season, so much so that I am already thinking of week 1! For those of you who join us on gameday, you know that the home opener is a tradition to do a mexican-ish theme for the tailgate party. I wanted to do a breakfast dish and came up with this, mexican breakfast tacos. We will be serving these week 1.

Dude I know you drunk of young fur-poon but please take the time to proof read your Crushers joke.  Your making me feel insignificant, considering I have to get weighed at a highway rest stop for my yearly physical that is no easy task.

It won't be the first neighborhood I brought down to my level.

 

You are all talk.  I have been to your neighborhood.  It is really nice!

 

You are on a pretty serious level!

Smoked a tri-tip and some chicken quarters. Tri-tip lives up to the hype, great smoking meat.

Nice!

 

And your chicken looks great!

 

I did some tri tip a few months ago, not an easy cut to find here in NY or the northeast in general. I found, and a lot of bbq heads say, that smoking isn't really needed much for this cut, especially since you are only cooking it to med rare-med, not like a brisket taking it to like 200 degrees IT. The real way to cook this, which i have not done yet, is direct grilled over a real wood fire. After my using the reverse sear, I am going to be doing tri tip with that technique next.

 

I'll probably do some tri tip at one game this season, slice them up thin, and serve Baltimore pit beef style with a horseradish mayo and sliced white onions.

 

Here was my 1 and only foray into tri tip, did a teriyaki marinade and asian slaw, and a traditional santa maria dry rub and carmelized onion and blue cheese.

That looks absurdly good. Blue cheese is the perfect compliment with the texture too.

The one thing I'll say about the tri tip is this, it tasted better the day after cold. Off the smoker and hot it was almost too flavorful, I'm not sure of that had more to do with using a rub instead of a marinade (I've heard that marinades can be better for the cut), but it certainly wasn't the wood because I used milder fruit woods.

That said, served cold the day after it was insanely good with some horseradish. Served hot it was just great, but something tells me a sweeter marinade, like the teriyaki you used, then maybe pulling it at rare and finishing it off on the grill would have really produced something great. The good thing is that it was a 5 pounder and it was done in under 3 hours. So if you'd like to get a smoke in but don't want to plan your day around it, it's a good option.

Great butchers here in Chicago. I'm about 15 minutes from one of the best in the Midwest. Any cut you want they have it, top quality and for about 1/2 the price of the supermarket.
