Cowboy Coffee Tri Tip
- 4 pounds Choice Grade Beef Tri-tip, Trimmed Of All Fat And Sinew
- 2 Tablespoons Lea And Perrins Worcestershire Sauce Or More As Needed To Coat Roast
- 2 Tablespoons Instant Coffee Granules (I Used Folgers)
- 4 Tablespoons Beef Rub (recipe Below)
- 3 Tablespoons Granulated Garlic
- 4 Tablespoons Kosher Salt
- 2 Tablespoons White Granulated Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons California Mild Chili Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Paprika
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
- 1 Tablespoon Granulated Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper (Use Sparingly Or Not At All)
- Combine all of the rub ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Apply a coat of Worcestershire sauce all over the tri-tip.
- Sprinkle the instant coffee granules evenly over each side of the tri-tip.
- Sprinkle an even coating of the rub and garlic over each side.
- Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Start your pit and get it to 275 F. Put the roast on the grates of the hot pit.
- Cook the tip over this low heat until internal temperature is about 110 F (about 30-45 minutes depending on how hot your pit is).
- Then transfer the tri tip to a hot grill and char the outside to get some grill marks.
- Remove it from the grill to a clean tray when internal is about 125 F and keep warm.
- Internal temps will rise to about 130 F while resting, which is medium rare.
- When you cut the tri tip, its important to recognize that the meat grain runs from nose-to-tail on the stealth fighter shaped cut.
- So, what I do is I cut my tri-tip into three pieces.
- For each piece, I rotate it 90 degrees before I cut so I cut against the grain.
- If you dont cut it against the grain, the slices will be tougher.
- Slice it between 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick and place on the serving platter.
- I like to scoop the juices from my cutting board with my cutting knife and ladle it back on my sliced meat.
- Sprinkle some extra rub to taste on the meat.
- Serve immediately.
