Tri-tip (or bottom sirloin) is an incredibly delicious cut of beef. It isn’t a grilling cut though. Cook it fast, and you’ll be chewing for a long time! This one needs a low and slow reverse-sear (ideally on smoke) to bring the tenderness.
Time: 90 minutes (30 active)
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
1kg tri-tip (bottom sirloin)
10g kosher salt
3g cracked black pepper
Preparation:
Sprinkle the salt evenly over all sides of the tri-tip and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat your cooker (ideally a smoker) to 110C.
Sprinkle the pepper evenly over all sides of the tri-tip.
Place the tri-tip on indirect heat, cooking until the internal temperature reaches 45C (about an hour).
Turn the cooker to maximum heat, cooking the tri-tip on direct heat for about five minutes per side until it reaches 55C. Remove from heat.
Slice the tri-tip in half in the long direction. Cut into slices in the other direction. Serve immediately.
