MrsForensicBBQ was shocked that there was a package delivered bearing my name instead of hers. She inquired what a Tuckaway was and I had to confess I had no idea. Then a bit of research and I learned this spot in Raymond, NH is known for their steak tips. Many thanks to our friends over in that mythical region they call “New England” – I can say for sure.. ain’t no myth that the Tuckaway does have a damn good steak tip.

The Prep Table
We got a new set of pans, and I thought what a way to break ’em in. Received these on a week night, so of course I had to make ’em immediately after work. I’ll show you how I pan seared ’em on night one. Night two, I took ’em outside and threw ’em on the GrillGrates. Of course, the grill was the better of the two, but I’ll show you both anyway.
The Pan Sear
I didn’t know better, I didn’t trust. I threw in some jarlic with the pan sear and then my first taste of the Tuckaway Tip was impressive. Not only did I not need the jarred garlic, I felt I insulted the meat and marinade. These things were incredible. So much flavor was contained in each morsel, I was taken aback. I completed my plate (cooked rare) and couldn’t want for the Grates on the weekend.
The Grates
I let those last three pictures go without comment, because I wanted you to see the progression of the cook. As they developed that crust, and eventually onto the plate, they were still so juicy. I went for a medium cook on these ones and this was the right play. Wood-fired and grate-seared, I can’t imagine a better steak tip.
Good news, you can also have them shipped to you. Visit that link at the top of the page and order ’em to your place. Thanks again to our NH friends for this holiday treat.
