Tri-tip by Lady Carnivory

By Lady Carnivory

HOLY

I made this smoked tri-tip from @marfameats and… wow!

Here’s the rub:

1 T smoked paprika
1 T instant coffee
1 T sea salt
1/2 T pepper

Here’s the deets:

Massage the rub into 2lb of your Marfa Meats Tri-tip (you can wrap, refrigerate, and allow the rub to marinate into meat for 2 hours up to overnight but you will want to pull the meat out to come to room temp before moving onto step 2)
Set smoker to 225F and use a strong wood like oak or hickory (I did half and half) for your chips
Smoke until internal temperature reaches 110F for rare (this took an hour for me)
Melt 2 T butter in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat
Sear tri-tip on both sides until well-browned and meat reaches desired doneness temp
Allow to rest for 5 minutes (or as long as your will-power allows) and slice against the grain

Serves 2-4 (or one Lady Carnivory)
