Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds tri tip roast excess fat and silverskin trimmed away
  • 1/3 cup BBQ Rub homemade or store bought

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat a smoker to 225 degrees F.
  2. Coat both sides of the meat with the BBQ rub.
  3. Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, then place the meat in the smoker.
  4. Cook the meat for approximately 30 minutes per pound, or until a thermometer registers 135 degrees F. Preheat the oven broiler.
  5. Remove the meat from the smoker. Broil the meat for 5-6 minutes or until a browned crust develops.
  6. Wrap the tri tip in foil. Let the meat rest for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the meat from the foil. Slice the meat thinly against the grain, then serve.

Notes

  • If you're using a store bought BBQ rub, check the ingredient list to make sure it contains salt. If it does not have salt, you'll want to season the meat with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  • This meat is best when served immediately. Leftovers will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
