Ingredients
Hi-West Tequila Lime BBQ Rub
Carne Asada Seasoning by The Spice Guy
Carnitas Grill & Wing Squeeze by Terrapin Ridge Farms
Preheat your smoker to 220°F using hickory or oak chunks, hickory blend pellets or charcoal.
Prepare the tri-tip: Using a pairing or boning knife, remove silverskin or any hanging pieces of fat.
Set in a food safe container and add 4 Tbsp Carnitas Grill & Wing Squeeze by Terrapin Ridge Farms, along with 1 Tbsp cooking oil, and 1 Tbsp Hi-West Tequila Lime BBQ Rub. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Remove from marinade and season the tri-tip with Carne Asada Seasoning by The Spice Guy.
Place the tri-tip in the smoker over indirect heat.
Smoke the tri-tip for 30 to 45 minutes or until the internal temperature hits 110°F.
Remove the tri-tip from the smoker and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Prepare to sear: Using your grill, smoker, flat top grill, or induction burner, preheat cooking medium to 400°F.
Apply cooking oil to the surface before searing.
Sear the tri-tip for 3-4 minutes each side, or until desired crust and temperature. We like to pull it off at 135°F internal and serve it closer to 137°F.
Let rest and slice against the grain. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
Pro Tip: A tri tip’s grains run in opposite directions. Be sure to slice against the grain to achieve the most tender bite. Tri tip makes excellent tacos! Pair with grilled street corn, cilantro-lime rice, or guacamole for delicious results.
