Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt or coarse sea salt

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 well-trimmed 2 1/2- to 2 3/4-pound tri-tip beef roast
3 cups oak, mesquite, or hickory wood chips, soaked in water 1 hour and drained

Steps:

Cover grill and cook until thermometer inserted into thickest part of roast registers 128°F to 135°F for medium-rare, turning roast occasionally, about 13 minutes.

I can't wait to try this recipe with different types of wood chips. I think oak or pecan would be a great choice.

I used a charcoal grill to smoke the tri-tip and it turned out great. The meat was cooked evenly and the smoke flavor was perfect.

The wood smoke flavor really takes this dish to the next level. I used hickory chips, but I bet mesquite or applewood would also be delicious.
