Cooking Traeger Tri Tip

Discover the secrets to making a perfectly smoked Traeger tri tip using a pellet grill. This recipe guides you through the reverse sear technique, ensuring intense flavor and ultimate tenderness.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (3-5 lb) tri-tip
  • 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • Pecan BBQ wood pellets

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • Preheat your Traeger grill to 225°F (107°C) with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
    • Use Super Smoke if available for enhanced flavor.
    • In a small bowl, mix salt and pepper, then generously season all sides of the tri tip.
  2. Smoking:

    • Insert a meat probe into the thickest part of the tri tip.
    • Place the tri tip directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C), approximately 60-90 minutes.
  3. Searing:

    • Remove the tri tip from the grill and wrap it in foil.
    • Increase the Traeger temperature to 450°F (232°C) or 500°F (260°C) if available, and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
    • Unwrap the tri tip, reinsert the probe, and sear each side for 4 minutes.
  4. Resting and Serving:

    • Remove the tri tip from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
    • Slice against the grain and serve.

Tips:

  • For best results, use a wireless meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature accurately.
  • Pecan wood pellets add a mild, nutty flavor that complements the beef well.
