Smoked Tri-Tip

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 whole tri-tip roast (trimmed)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 3 tbsp coarse kosher salt

  • 2 tbsp coarse black pepper

  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F using Oak or Hickory wood.

  2. While the smoker preheats, pat the trip-tip dry.

  3. Rub the entire roast with the olive oil, then season generously with the mixed dry rub.

  4. Place the seasoned tri-tip directly on the smoker grate.

  5. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 125°F - 130°F for medium-rare.

  6. Optional Reverse Sear: For a better crust, remove the tri-tip at 120°F and quickly sear it on a hot grill or a cast-iron skillet for 60 seconds per side until the internal temp hits 130°F.

  7. Remove from the heat, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 15 minutes.

  8. Crucial Step: Slice the tri-tip against the grain.
