Try smoking a tri-tip with a reverse sear. You will be amazed at how this easy recipe produces a tender and juicy tri-tip. The roast is smoked low and slow for about an hour and then seared over a hot fire. It’s delicious! Give it a try.

This is one of the easiest recipes on the Austin Eats website. Five simple ingredients produce a flavorful, tender and juicy smoked tri-tip roast. Truly, it’s all in the technique. A lot of tri-tip recipes will have you sear the roast first THEN smoke it. Well, that’s old school. Searing it first tends to dry it out a bit and it also seals the roast so the smoke doesn’t do much. Smoking the trip-tip low and slow first followed by a sear over a hot fire (a reverse sear) allows the smoke to do it’s job. The results are amazing. Give this a try and let me know what you think.

Prepare the Tri-Tip Roast

Setup the smoker to cook at 225. Trim the excess fat from the tri-tip roast. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano.
