Ingredients

Tri-Tip

  • 1 2.5 lb Tri-Tip Roast
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • gallon size baggie
  • 1 tbsp ghee (for searing)

Marinade

  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos
  • 2 garlic coves minced
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1/4 cup light olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat smoker to 225 degrees.
  • Remove the Tri-Tip from the marinade and generously season both sides with salt and pepper. Don't be afraid to over season the meat. Be sure to get a nice crust on both sides of the beef.
  • Place beef Tri-Tip on smoker. Cook until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F. This should cook around 80 minutes. Remove beef and add it to a cast iron skillet pre-heated with ghee. Sear on each side until the internal temperature is 145 degrees F for medium rare.
  • Remove the tri-tip from the smoker and transfer to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Cut across the grains in thin strips starting at the smallest end of the Tri-Tip.
  • Serve with fresh Pico De Gallo over the top of the meat and a side of green beans.
