Reverse Sear Tri-Tip & Chicken (pics)

[Guest]

Tonight I cooked up a traditional SoCal BBQ dinner of tri-tip, chicken and
beans. I seasoned the tri-tip liberally with Kosmo's Cow Cover and the
chicken got a coating of 2/3 Montreal chicken seasoning and 1/3 New
Mexico chili powder. I cooked it all indirect over a 50/50 combination of
Kingsford Competition briquets and mesquite lump and reverse-seared the
tri-tip (cooked to 130* indirect then seared direct to 135*).

It all came out very flavorful and tender. Kosmo's beef rub is no joke!

Wow as always John it all looks good. I did a tri-tip Friday night using the reverse sear after reading a piece by Craig "Meathead" Goldwyn, only my third and it came out surprisingly well. I have to say I like it with potatoes and veggies, but I love it leftover in a sandwich.

They are off of the internet; they are off of my blog. If you meant something else, just come out and say it.

I have the raw images, if you want to see them.

Where's the sliced and plated pictures?

Where's the sliced and plated pictures?

Where does it say that I need them? I was too busy and the family was too
hungry to wait for me to take plated shots.

Why are you so hung up on a plated shot? Couldn't I get that from the
internet too? Does a plated shot somehow make it authentic?

I think my blog and track record speak for themselves. I don't need to
prove myself to you.

It doesn't say you 'need' a plated pic, but people like to see a properly cooked and plated piece of beef cause it looks good. I doubt anyone was asking you to 'prove' yourself or judging you. But a hunk of meat on a grill looks like a hunk of meat on the grill. A plated 'finished' or 'money shot' is the final satisfaction people get of cooks. By your 'defensive' response, I'd say you overcooked it myself.....I'm just saying....but who am I to judge?

Larry, how would you interpret Nick's comment? He's clearly being passive-aggressive, and I felt the need to call him on it. Call it defensive if you want.

Yes, plated pics are nice, but I simply didn't have time.

We all try to joke around from to time, I really wouldn't take too much into Nick's response. After all, he cooks on a gas grill....so what's his opinion matter Daddio?

Like my old buddy Bruce B. used to tell me when I got upset, 'let peoples responses roll off your back like water off a duck'. We all post at our own risk when we post pic's and they're all open to criticism good or bad. Trust me, I get equal amounts of each.

Just make your family starve next time and take a sliced pic! ******!

Nice looking cook John. I use Kosmo's Cow Cover on burgers and it's great. I also like their Dirty Bird rub on chicken and corn on the cob. They are both very good products.

Posts without plated/sliced pics are like having to leave a prom date with a semi.

All I wanna see is some more good food porn.

Better go slice and plate that avatar of yours, then. Oh, the irony.
