Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Tri-Tip
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp coarse black pepper
  • 2 tbsp granulated garlic
  • ¼ cup beef broth

Instructions

  • Prep the Tri-Tip first by removing the fat cap and any silver skin using a sharp knife.
  • Using an even blend of salt, coarsely ground black pepper and granulated garlic, give the entire Tri-Tip a good covering with the seasoning.
  • Get your smoker set at 250°F.
  • Once the smoker is ready, put the Tri-Tip in and insert an internal temp probe.
  • After 30 minutes, spritz the Tri-Tip with beef broth.
  • Once the internal thermometer reads 135 degrees F (medium rare), remove the meat from the smoker, place on a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice against the grain into slices around ¼” thick and serve.

Serve with:

  • Mashed potatoes and freshly steamed garden fresh vegetables.
  • Roasted potatoes and gravy.
  • On its own.
