Tri-Tip - Thick Bark and Medium Rare

Tri-Tip - Smoked, seared, thick crust, and medium rare. Video instruction below:

Tri-Tip is our go-to party steak. It’s thick, beefy, marbled, and tender. Smoked on a Traeger pellet grill and finished with a hard sear from the weed burner. We achieve a thick bark and medium rare with a little trick in the binder.

Slather your try-tip in yellow mustard, season, smoke then sear to finish. The mustard works not only as a binder but as a meat tenderizer. As a binder it keeps the seasoning and smoke stuck to the meat creating a thick crunchy bark. All of this with NO MUSTARD FLAVOR (though we don’t mind a little mustard).

If you’re stuck on what to cook for your next barbecue - go with the tri-tip and some Thai Chili Chimichurri. You won’t be disappointed.
