Description

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to 225F. Close the lid once it reaches this temperature.
  2. Prep your steak. Season all sides of the steak with salt, pepper, coffee, and garlic powder
  3. Place the tri tip directly on the grill, close the lid and remove from the smoker once the internal temperature (taken from the thickest part of the meat) is with in 5-10 degrees of the desired doneness. For a medium, take off the grill at 130-140F.
