Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your Traeger pellet smoker or electronic smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions
  • Season the tri tip, all over, with about 3 tablespoons of Montreal Steak Seasoning or your favorite rub.
  • Smoke the tri tip at 180-F for 20 minutes to give it a bit of smokiness.
  • Turn the heat up to 225-F and cook for an addition 30-60 minutes (or longer) until it reaches 125-F for medium rare. Actual cooking time depends on size and the temperature of the beef when it went into the smoker.
  • Heat a cast iron pan until it is smoking hot. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil and sear the tri tip on each side for about 2 minutes. Remove it to a cutting board.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
