- Right Way BBQ Ultimate Steak BBQ Rub (available at www.rightwaybbqshop.com)
- 1 Cup unsalted butter
- Butcher Paper
- Cook-time 4-6 hours depends on smoker temperature
Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Remove the tri-tip roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for more even cooking.
-
Seasoning:
- Liberally season the tri-tip roast with Right Way BBQ Ultimate Steak BBQ Rub. Make sure to coat all sides of the meat evenly, pressing the rub into the surface to adhere.
-
Preheat the Grill:
- Prepare your grill for indirect heat cooking. If using a charcoal grill, light the coals and push them to one side, leaving an area with no direct heat. If using a gas grill, only turn on the burners on one side, leaving the other side off.
-
Low and Slow Cooking:
- Once the grill is preheated, place the seasoned tri-tip on the side of the grill without direct heat. Close the lid and adjust the vents to maintain a temperature of around 250°F (121°C)
-
Monitoring the Temperature:
- Use a reliable meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the tri-tip. When the temperature reaches about 165°F (74°C), or the bark is set. it's time for the next step.
-
Butter Wrap:
- Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes or slices and place them on top of the tri-tip. Wrap the tri-tip tightly with butcher paper to create a sealed packet.
-
Continue Cooking:
- Place the Paper Wrapped tri-tip back on the grill and continue cooking at the same low temperature until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. Recommended final temp around 200-205F (93°C-96°C)
-
Resting:
- Once the tri-tip reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the grill and let it rest in the paper for about 15-25 minutes and or Cooler. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more tender and flavorful meat.
-
Slice and Serve:
- Unwrap the tri-tip and slice it against the grain to maximize tenderness. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Low and Slow Tri-Tip Brisket Style with Butter Wrap!
Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the tri-tip, so always rely on the internal temperature for doneness rather than specific cooking times. Enjoy your flavorful and tender tri-tip with the rich flavors of the Right Way BBQ Ultimate Steak BBQ Rub!
