Do try it sometime, Dimitri I think you'll like it. On the day I
serve it, I usually parboil small red potatoes, carrots, and boiler
onions, then toss in melted butter, salt, pepper, and maybe some herbs.
I roast these till they begin to brown, turning once.

I love baby backs cooked that way!

Since moving to the central coast I have been "experimenting" with the
local red oak. It really emparts a wonderful and very different flavor.
All over the area they cook over a live red oak fire.

My dad always grilled over a live oak fire, although not red oak. I always
loved the flavor.

Very nice!

"In the early 1960s Santa Marian’s noticed how much meat was being
wasted using the rib steaks, and felt that something should be done to
lower food costs. So they started experimenting with other cuts which
would not be so costly. As a result Top Block Sirloin was discovered.

In the mid-1960s, Santa Marian’s discovered the incredible taste of
Tri-tip.

Before the mid 1960s, Tri-tip was practically considered scrap, not good
for anything other than stew meat or hamburger.
Tri-tip is a very good cut of meat; however, usually by the time you
have trimmed the excess fat, you will find it is more expensive than the
Top sirloin. "

I don't have a smoker, so I quasi-smoke on a gas grill with indirect heat
and a large packet of wet wood chips that get replenished throughout most
of the cooking time.

I love tri-tip roasts, but have never done one one the grill, just in the
oven. They are common to find in the stores here in AZ.

My favorite steak is still a rib steak, though, and always with the bone.
We often get some good buys on them at a local store here.
