Equipment

  • Smoker

Ingredients

  • 3 lb Tri-Tip Roast trimmed
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon oregano dried

Instructions

  • Setup the smoker to cook at 225°F. Trim the excess fat from the tri-tip roast. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano.
  • Smoke the roast for about an hour until the internal temperature reaches 110°F. Remove the roast and cover with foil for 15 minutes to let it rest.

  • Rest the roast for about 10 minutes. Slice across the grain and serve.
