TRAEGER TRI TIP

Reverse-seared like a boss, this smoked Traeger tri tip is everything a steak should be: juicy, flavourful, and addicting.

STEP 1

When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke, if available.

STEP 2

In a small bowl, combine the salt and pepper. Generously season all sides of the tri tip.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1  (3-5 lb) tri-tip
  • 2 Tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoon kosher salt

STEP 3

Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the tri tip steak. Place the tri tip directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 130℉, 60-90 minutes.
