Author:
Ingredients
  • 4 lb tri tip
  • Trader Joes (trademark) coffee rub
  • Potters Chipotle Jalapeño Wine (in a sprayer)
Instructions
  1. Smoke tri-tip for (up to) 4 hours.
  2. Spray with Potter Wine's Jalapeno Chipotle wine every 20-30 minutes.
  3. Remove tri-tip from smoker (I have a Traeger), and crank the heat to high, allowing the barrel temp to reach 450.
  4. Place tri-tip back on smoker.
  5. Continue to spray with the Chipotle Jalapeño Wine every 10 minutes.
  6. Flip tri-tip after 15 minutes for equal sear.
  7. For medium rare minus, remove when internal temp reaches 118. (A 4 pound tri tip usually takes 30-45 minutes to reach and IT of 118.)
  8. Remove from smoker, cover in foil and a towel and let rest on the counter for 20-30 minutes.
  9. Slice against the grain.
  10. Serve sliced thick with a salad or thinly sliced on a bun with a slice of smoked swiss and au jus sauce for the best french dip you have ever had!
