Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Tri-tip roast
- 2 tablespoons Ground coffee
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the ground coffee, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper to make the spice rub.
Trim any excess fat from the tri-tip roast and pat it dry with paper towels.
Rub the tri-tip all over with olive oil to help the spice rub adhere.
Generously coat the tri-tip with the spice rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure an even layer on all sides.
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add your preferred wood chips, such as hickory, oak, or cherry, for smoke flavor.
Place the tri-tip on the smoker grate and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.
Smoke the tri-tip until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium. This usually takes about 90 minutes, but monitor the temperature closely for accuracy.
Remove the tri-tip from the smoker and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the tri-tip against the grain into thin slices and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
