smoked tri tip

Ingredients  

  • 1 steak tri tip 2 pounds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup BBQ rub

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 225F degrees with the pellet flavor of your choice.
  • Apply the olive oil to all side of the tri tip.
  • Apply the rub to all sides of the tri tip. Allow the rub to adhere to the meat for 10 minutes on the counter.
  • Place the tri tip directly on the smoker. Insert a meat thermometer to monitor the temperature, and close the grill.
  • Cook your tri tip to 120F internal (for an eventual medium rare), remove it from your smoker, then heat up your gas grill to its highest setting.
  • With your gas grill heated up, sear the tri tip on both sides, about two minutes each. This will help to give it a nice crust.
  • Allow the tri tip to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice it against the grain and serve.
