Ingredients

  • 1 tri-tip roast from Felton Angus Beef
  • 3 tbsp of ancho chili powder
  • 2 tbsp of garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp of brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • When tri-tip is at room temperature, lather with olive oil then season with ancho chili powder, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
  • When ready to cook, use some Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal to light fire and let burn for 15-20 minutes. Once charcoal is white hot, move to one side of the grill for indirect grilling. Optional: For a more intense flavor, add some hickory or mesquite wood chunks to the top of the charcoal.
  • Place tri-tip on opposite side of charcoal and let smoke for 60-90 minutes at 225-250F or until internal temperature is at 130F (medium-rare)
  • Pull meat off grill and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
