Smoked Tri-Tip Sirloin Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tri-Tip

    Rub the tri-tip sirloin with olive oil, ensuring it's well coated. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the tri-tip.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Smoker

    Soak the smoked wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using them. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  3. 3

    Smoke the Tri-Tip

    Once the smoker is ready and the wood chips are soaked, drain the chips and add them to the smoker. Place the tri-tip on the smoker rack. Close the lid and smoke for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

  4. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the tri-tip from the smoker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain and serve.
