Smoked Prime Tri Tip – Who Doesn’t Like Tri Tip?

Picked up a Prime Tri Tip from Costco for the family and want to keep learning and posting. If ya’ll don’t like Tri Tip, you aren’t cooking or cutting it right!

I once again coated it with Kendu Spice Co. Moon Rock seasoning the night before, then smoked it at 275°F for 45 minutes, which is typically enough time to reach an internal temperature of 130°F. I used the Chef's Temp remote probe, which was very helpful.  After that, I placed it on the cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes.

The flavors, color, and crust were on point. This is what Moon Rock was made for – so much flavor.

Basic process:

• Season with Moon Rock the night prior
• Smoked at 275°F for 45 minutes or until desired temp
• Pulled at 130°F internal
• Rested for 15 minutes before slicing

The flavors and crust on this thing were unreal. Also, the deep red color this meat had was gorgeous.

Thoughts:

• I’d probably go lower and slower at 225°F, then try that again.

Once again, no leftovers.
