How does Wood Ranch cook tri tip?
What Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill does differently is go beyond simply grilling it like any other steak. Rather, it's slow-roasted overnight with its fat cap still on, sealing in flavor, before it gets grilled over hickory.
Can you cook tri-tip overnight?
If you want to make the most of your meat, you can smoke tri-tip steak to mouthwatering perfection. Many chefs say that smoking tri-tip steak is the best way to cook it, as it adds flavor and preserves moisture. Tri-tips can be tenderized by marinating them in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
How do you keep tri-tip warm?
Keep cooked meats hot by setting them to the side of the grill rack, not directly over the coals where they could overcook. At home, the cooked meat can be kept hot in a warm oven (approximately 200 °F, in a chafing dish or slow cooker, or on a warming tray.
How do you reheat tri-tip without drying it out?
The tri tip retains more moisture if it is not sliced upon reheating. That said, sliced or unsliced, the best way to reheat the meat is to place it in two layers of aluminum foil. Before enveloping the meat in the foil, add BBQ sauce, if using it, or add a little water or beef broth.
