Equipment

  • Measuring Utensils
  • Traeger
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Foil
  • Mixing Spoon
  • Tongs
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Tri-Tip
  • 2 Tablespoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Before continuing on to any of the next steps, preheat the Traeger. Set the temperature to 225 F to preheat for 15 minutes with the lid closed. If desiring the most flavor possible from this recipe, use the Super Smoke option.
  • In the small mixing bowl, pour the salt and pepper into the bowl. Mix together to combine.
  • Using the mixture in the small mixing bowl, season the tri-tip. Make sure to season all sides of the tri-tip.
  • It’s time to cook the tri-tip. Insert the probe into the thickest section of the tri-tip, then place the tri-tip onto the grill grates. Shut the lid of the Traeger to cook.
  • Now that the tri-tip is cooking in the Traeger, cook the tri-tip for 60-90 minutes. The internal temperature of the tri-tip should reach 130 F.
  • After the tri-tip has reached 130 F for the internal temperature, remove the tri-tip from the Traeger. Use foil to wrap the tri-tip completely.
  • Raise the heat of the Traeger to 450 F.
  • Before continuing on to the next step, allow the Traeger to preheat until it reaches 450 F. This can take around 15 minutes.
  • Wait until the Traeger has preheated to 450 F before following up with this step. Once the Traeger has reached 450 F, remove the foil surrounding the tri-tip.
  • Insert the probe back into the tri-tip. Use the tongs to place the tri-tip on the grill. For 4 minutes, sear each side of the tri-tip.
  • Use the tongs to remove the seared and cooked tri-tip from the Traeger. Allow the tri-tip to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Serve warm, using a sharp knife to slice against the grain. Enjoy!
