Method

Preparing the Tri-tip

  1. 1

    Season and Smoke

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Season the tri-tip roast generously with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices. Place the tri-tip in the smoker and smoke for about 2-3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium rare.

  2. 2

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the tri-tip from the smoker and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

Preparing the Salad

  1. 4

    Prepare the Eggs

    While the tri-tip is resting, peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice them into quarters.

  2. 5

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the fresh parsley.

Assembling the Wedge

  1. 6

    Slice the Tri-tip

    Slice the rested tri-tip against the grain into thin strips.

  2. 7

    Build the Wedge Salad

    On a large serving platter, arrange the sliced tri-tip, crispy bacon, blue cheese crumbles, quartered hard-boiled eggs, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Drizzle ranch dressing over the top.

Optional Protein

  1. 8

    Grill Chicken or Shrimp (if using)

    For grilled chicken, season the breasts with salt and pepper and grill on medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. For shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon, and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
