Finished it in the grill so I’m gonna say this counts. Picanha!
Started by trimming and scoring the fat, then salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then into the vacuum bag and sous vide for 4 hours at 135°. Out of the sous vide, into an ice bath for 4 minutes, then into the fridge until time to cook. Out of the fridge, pat dry, then seared on the flat side of the GrillGrates on the Weber.

That's perfectly cooked, in my book. Bravo!
Is that a challenging cut to slice correctly? Looks like it wants to be sliced either in the other direction (rotated 90 degrees) or possibly lenghthwise... ??

I’m not sure.
I know that with tri tip there’s two muscle directions so you have to cut part of it one way and part another way.
I don’t think that’s the case here. Pictures I saw online all seemed to show it sliced this way (across the short direction) but this seems to indicate maybe I did it wrong

Looks fantastic, Rob!

I always slice the tri tips I cook against the grain whenever possible
"... And miles to go before I sleep".
I would have done that here if I'd been able to see where the grain was after searing, and if I didn't mis-understand some of the pictures I'd seen online of the slicing. In hind sight it appears that the "tell" may be the long side, and cutting parallel to that should get perpendicular to grain, I think.
Good news is, this gives me an excuse to do another one!

The Shaws supermarket here sells a pre marinated [some type of bourbon marinade] tri tip that I cook on the Traeger grill.
Comes out incredibly moist and tender.
Almost a shame my wife does not eat red meat 😋😜🤭🤭🤭

Sounds like a win-win! More for you!
thankfully, mine is back on Keto after a few dalliances with *gasp* veganism!
