Ingredients

• 1.5 - 2 lb Tri-Tip Steak (Prime Grade if possible)
• SPG (60% Pepper; 35% Salt; 5% Garlic Powder) or Stubb’s Steak Seasoning
• 1/4 cup Coffee Bean Powder

Instructions

1. Trim the Tri-Tip – Remove any hard fat or excessively thick fat layers, making sure to keep the tri-tip evenly shaped without dips or holes.
2. Season the Meat – Generously season the tri-tip with SPG or Stubbs Steak Seasoning.
3. Grind the Coffee – Grind coffee beans to a fine powder using a coffee grinder.
4. Preheat the Smoker – Heat the pellet smoker to 250°F (121°C) for indirect cooking.
5. Smoke the Tri-Tip – Place the tri-tip on the indirect side of the smoker and cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
6. Heat the Grill – Remove the tri-tip, then increase the grill temperature to 500°F (260°C).
7. Sear the Steak – Once the grill has reached temperature, sear the tri-tip for 3 minutes on each side to develop a nice crust.
8. Rest – Remove the Tri-Tip from the grill and allow it to rest for a minimum of 10 minutes.
9. Slice thin slices across the grain and Enjoy!!

Notes

• Rest the Meat – After cooking, rest the tri-tip for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful steak when sliced.
