Tri Tip with Grilled Squash

Whole Foods had a great sale on Tri Tip at 6.99 a lb and that is a virtually impossible cut of meat to find here in Chicago. So we bought some on Sunday and we had it for dinner tonight. I picked up some yellow squash to go with it as well. I dusted Tri Tip with some Raising the Steaks seasoning from Dizzy Pig and the Squash with the Pineapple Head seasoning..

Took it off at about 135 and let it rest for 10 minutes. Sliced against the grain. Cut like butter...

This meat was UNREAL. Whole Foods has never disappointed me with their meat but this was like butter. Should've bought more when it was on sale!

Nice job, Eddie - the meat looks great! We have a Whole Foods here in Madison and I haven't seen tri-tip anywhere, so I might have to give them a call.

That looks absolutely wonderful Looks like you need to get back to Whole Foods and see if they have any more tri-tip!!

Looks great! How was the pineapple head on the squash? I love that stuff for grilling sweet potatoes, but I've never tried it on any other veggies.

I love the Pineapple Head period so I think it's great on anything. I've used it on squash and zuchinni and it was fantastic. I even used it on Chicken Boobs! I'm addicted to that stuff!

One of my favorite side dishes from the grill, I take skin-on sweet potatoes and cut them into slices about 1/4" thick, brush with a very light coat of canola oil, and dust with pineapple head. Direct grill on the egg around 375-400° for about 4 minutes per side, they come out awesome. Also like to just take whole sweet potatoes and rub the outside with with a little olive oil and bake them in the egg at 400° for about an hour, depending on size, then slice them open lengthwise and add a little butter & pineapple head. More good stuff there!

Crazy good looking meal and pictures.
