Smoked USDA Prime Tri-Tip Roast<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Time to smoke my first Costco USDA PRIME grade Tri-Tip Roast. Found a killer deal at Costco where the peeled Tri-Tips were a mere $5.19 a pound. Got me a total of 12 roasts which will allow me to smoke\/cook one roast a week for the next 3 months if I choose to do so.<\/p>\n

Oh My Goodness ... I must admit that the results were simply scrumptious!! The Tri-Tip roast was smoked to perfection and so juicy and\u00a0 tender you could cut it with a fork. I prefer taking my Tri-Tips to an internal temperature<\/a> of 145\u00baF but by all means cook it to your preferred temp - lower or higher - it's all good.<\/p>\n

In the old days I could get Tri-Tips in the $3 range for Choice grade (which is now around $7 to $9 a pound here in California). So the $5.19 per pound for Prime was a steal. In case you've not heard of the term 'peeled' before it means that the fat cap has been trimmed off before packaging. I've always been able to find cheaper Tri-Tip roasts but with the fat cap intact which negates the cheaper price cause you're paying for the fat cap. The only thing left for me to do with a peeled Tri-Tip is to trim off any silver skin that might be present.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

If you've read my Blog over the years you know that the style\/method that I developed is to rub the meat with roasted garlic extra virgin olive oil<\/a> before using a rub and\/or seasoning. Rubbed the Prime grade Tri-Tip roast with the olive oil<\/a> and seasoned liberally with Pete's Western Rub<\/a>. Wrapped the seasoned roast with plastic and refrigerated overnight. The recipe for Pete's Western Rub<\/a> can be found in my new book \"The Wood Pellet Smoker & Grill\u00a0 Cookbook<\/a>\".<\/p>\n

Preheat your wood pellet smoker-grill (I prefer using a MAK 2 Start General) to 225\u00baF using Hickory<\/a> or your favorite wood pellet flavor for beef. Oak wood pellets<\/a> are a good choice also. Mesquite<\/a> is also favored by many pitmasters.<\/p>\n

Smoke the Tri-Tip roast at 225\u00baF for approximately 2 hours until the internal temperature<\/a> reaches 145\u00baF. Rest the smoked roast loosely under a foil tent for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain on the bias at a 45\u00ba angle.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
