Smoked Tri-Tip

What can we say, is there anyone who doesn't enjoy a nice, moist, tri-tip steak once in a while? 

Ingredients:

• Tri-Tip Steak: 3-6 lbs
• Montreal Steak Seasoning

Method:

Remove steak from wrapper.

Wipe excess moisture with paper towel.

Spread the Montreal Steak Seasoning liberally on both sides of the meat.

When ready, start the Traeger on Smoke with the lid open until the fire in established (4-5 minutes).

Place the meat on the grate on the smoker setting and leave it for 45 minutes to allow the smoke to penetrate the meat and create the desired smoke-ring.

Turn the temperature to 250 degrees F and continue cooking until the temp reaches 135 degrees F.

At 135 degrees (about an hour, begin checking at about 40 mins), remove the meat, cover with foil, and turn the temperature up to 450 - 500 degrees F.

Once temperature is reached, place the meat back on the grill for 4 minutes, each side.

Remove, let rest for 10 - 15 minutes, slice against the grain, and enjoy.
