Ingredients
For the Tri Tip
- 2 pound Tri Tip We use Snake River Farms
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
For the Marinade
- 1 cup red wine , Syrah or Zinfandel
- 1/3 cup Worcestershire
- ¼ cup diced shallot
- 2 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 tablespoons fresh rosemary, diced
For the Rub
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon coarse ground pepper
Instructions
- Trim excess fat off tri tip (see video for visual).
- In a large zip lock bag add marinade ingredients and the trimmed tri tip. Seal tight and shake well to mix. Marinate for two hours, (up to 6) in a dish in the fridge, remembering to flip the marinade and bag halfway through the marinade time.
- Remove meat from bag and discard marinade. Pat meat dry, remove excess rosemary and chunks. Mix the salt and pepper in a small dish and season roast.
- Pre heat the smoker to 225 degrees F using a fruit wood like cherry or apple.
- Add the tri tip. Cook for about one hour, until it reaches an internal temperature (IT) of 125 degrees for rare or 135 degrees for medium rare.
- Pull from smoker and rest for 15 minutes (or wrapped and stored in a small cooler with NO ice to keep warm if done early or needing to be kept warm before serving).
- Slice against to grain, this is key for tri tip due to the way the grains change along the tri tip. Serve with your favorite sauce.
