Double Smoked Sous Vide Tri Tip

Cultural Context

Originating in the American West, tri tip became popular in California's barbecue scene, particularly in Santa Maria. This cut of beef is known for its rich flavor and tenderness when cooked properly. The sous vide method allows for precise temperature control, while double smoking enhances the depth of flavor, making it a favorite for gatherings and special occasions. Today, variations abound, with different spice blends and smoking techniques being embraced by home cooks and pitmasters alike.
