Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Pellets: Hickory

Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

  • (4-5 lb) tri-tip, trimmed

  • Traeger Beef Rub

CHIMICHURRI
  • 2 Cup packed fresh Italian parsley

  • 4 Teaspoon dried oregano or 1/4 cup packed fresh oregano leaves

  • 4 Clove garlic, peeled and smashed

  • 1 Cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/4 Cup red wine vinegar

  • 1/2 Teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/4 Teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 Teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps

Season tri-tip liberally with Traeger Beef rub. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Place all ingredients for chimichurri in a blender and pulse until it reaches a chopped-like consistency. When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 225℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available. Place tri-tip directly on the grill grate and smoke for 60-90 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 125℉. Remove meat from grill and increase grill temperature up to 500℉. Preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. Place tri-tip back on grill and sear for 5 minutes per side. Remove from grill and let rest 10 minutes. Slice tri-tip against the grain and serve with chimichurri sauce on the side or spoon over the top. Enjoy!
