Ingredients

  1. Season Salt Mixture:
  2. 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  3. 2 teaspoons white pepper
  4. 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  5. 1 teaspoon onion powder
  6. 4 tablespoons granulated garlic
  7. 3 tablespoons kosher salt
  8. 2 lbs. Tri-Tip roast
  9. For The Chimichurri:
  10. 1 cup chives
  11. 1 cup parsley
  12. 1/2 cup garlic
  13. 1 red Thai chili
  14. 1 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh
  15. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  16. Kosher salt, to taste

Method

  1. Mix together all ingredients for the seasoning mix in a small bowl. Rub the meat liberally with the salt mixture at least 1 hour ahead of time. You can also do this overnight if you have a large enough Tri-Tip.
  2. Preheat the Egg to 225ºF with a platesetter, smoking wood, pan of water and stainless steel rack. Place the steak in the center of the stainless steel rack and smoke until internal temp of 115 F (rare) or 125 F (medium rare). Once desired internal temp is reached, pull and let rest for 15-20 mins.
  3. For The Chimichurri: In a food processor; add all ingredients and pulse to desired texture while slowly drizzling in olive oil (don't add too much oil). Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  4. When the meat has rested, slice it across the grain and garnish with chimichurri.
