Rinse, dry and trim two 3 lbs.
Tri-Tip Roasts. Here's a tip...
Ask your local grocers meat
cutters to cut you two 3 lbs
roasts and have them trim off
the fat. Due to the size if
Tri-Tip roasts this cook won't
be long enough to render down
the fat. Have them cut it off
and save money.
Peel the needles or peddles off
of two stems of Rosemary. You
want to remove the thick stem.
Using a clever or heavy knife
chop the Rosemary into coarse
and finely chopped pieces.
Peel rinse and coarsely chop a
whole large garlic. Spread the
1/2 the garlic and rosemary on
to a clean cutting board. Now
dust with sea salt and coarse
ground black pepper to taste.
Lay the 1st roast on top of the
seasoning and press down firmly.
The seasoning will embed itself
in to the outside of the roast.
Flip the roast and repeat on a
section of the cutting board
that has not been used. You want
a nice even coat of the
seasoning.
Apply a second coat of the
seasoning to the board and
repeat the seasoning steps
coating the 2nd Tri-Tip roast.
Once coated wrap the roasts in
plastic wrap and place in to the
refrigerator and let it rest for
at least 4 hours. This will
infuse the flavors into the
meat.
After the roasts have sat for 4
hours, remove them. Pre-heat
your cooker to 210 degrees. Once
the cooker is up to temp spray
the grates with cooking oil or
Pam. Place the seasoned Tri-Tip
roasts in the center of the
cooker and cook @ 210 degrees
until the internal temp reaches
143 degrees.
Once the roasts reach target
temperature, remove them from
your cooker and wrap them in
heavy foil and a towel. Let them
rest for a minimum of 45
minutes. This will allow the
juices to redistribute within
the meat.
After a good rest, un-wrap the
roasts and slice them against
the grain of the meat. This will
produce thin slices of meat that
are very easy to bite through
and chew. The roasts should be
pink and juicy. Enjoy!
Hickory wood or pellets is recommended
for this cook.
