What's for dinner tonight? Dinner ideas?

Not on the Traeger but a notable dinner, we had relatives in from Carolina, went to our local wood fired steak house. It has been closed for dining for almost a year. We all sat inside, place packed, no masks, like normal life! I had beef short ribs, wood fired artichoke, slaw, mashed potatoes.
It was pure heaven!
Man that sounds great! Since the wife and I both got our vac shot, I’m thinkin we may go for steak or seafood this coming weekend.
 
Doing the Wagyu Tri-tip tonight, rubbed in EVOO, granulated garlic, and HCC Black.. ooooooh, so good reverse seared.

I tried the 3-2-1 on a half rack of baby backs with my new 875 pro yesterday and they came out looking great and were legally done with a nice smoke ring and flavor, but the internal temp was only about 160f and they were still tough at that temperature. Suggest you not rely on just time , check internal temp and get them into the done stage during the “2” phase- and i bet it turns out to be much longer than 2 if using 225f for stages 2 and 3

I will try these real soon... (as soon as my dizzy pig rub shows up).. 😁
 
Well after never seeing Tri Tip in our grocery stores here, low and behold they have on sale this week. I went and got two this morning. Half the price that I had paid for the one I did last Saturday.
While I was there I picked up 2 briskets and 2 pork butts, also on sale.
First brisket had been started, it will brine for 8 days, on its way to be Montreal Smoked Meat.

Two pork butts will go on tomorrow night for an overnight cook.

Not tonight, but eventually. I did not see them on the shelf today, but asked at the butcher counter at HEB and I received. SCORE!

They are now tucked away safely till needed. These are so tender you would never think it was London Broil.
