Reverse Seared Traeger Tri Tip
Have you been looking for a Traeger tri tip recipe that leaves you with juicy and tender steak but you can whip up quickly, this reverse seared tri tip is what you will have been looking for.
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds beef tri-tip
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt or sea salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F
- If you’re making your own rub, combine the ingredients below in a bowl. Coat the meat with a binder like olive oil and season your tri-tip generously with the mix.
- Place the roast in a zipplock bag and refrigerate it overnight, or at least for a few hours before cooking.
- When you're ready to start cooking, remove the tri-tip from the refrigerator and let it sit out until it comes to room temperature.
- Preheat your Traeger grill to 225°F and you can choose to use super smoke if you do have that option.
- Place the seasoned tri-tip roast directly onto the grill grates, close the lid, and cook until the internal temperature is within 5-10 degrees of your target final temperature.
- Preheat a cast iron pan on the stovetop when the tri-tip is close to the target internal temperature.
- Add butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Then add crushed garlic. Place the tri tip in the sizzling butter and let it cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Tip the pan to the side and spoon the butter and garlic over the steak. Ensure you use a thermometer to check the temperature as the meat sears and remove it when it hits your goal temperature.
