MAIN DISH

Traeger Santa Maria Tri Tip

Traeger Santa Maria Tri Tip is darkly charred on both sides, while the inside remains tender and juicy.

Let’s get started!

The meat is infused with smoky flavor as it slow cooks on the Traeger, making it extra delicious. This is an easier and cheaper alternative to serving prime rib around the holidays!

PREP TRI-TIP

1. Pat the tri-tip dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with prime rib rub. Place the meat in a rimmed baking dish and cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

SET TEMP

2. Set the Traeger temperature to “smoke.” Make sure to follow Traeger manufacturer preheating instructions before adding meat to the grill. Preheat for 15 minutes.

SMOKE

3. Once the Traeger has preheated, remove the tri-tip from the fridge and place the meat directly on the grill. Insert the probe of a grill safe thermometer into the thickest part of the meat.
