Finally the Right Recipe!

INGREDIENTS 1 whole tri tip steak (about 2.5 lb) Salt & pepper or your preferred seasoning rub INSTRUCTIONS Heat a smoker to run at 250f. My preferred wood is Cherry and Hickory. Trim the steak of any silverskin/membrane on the surface using a filet knife. This step isn't essential, but here's why you want to do it: unlike fat, which renders during cooking, silverskin doesn't break down, and can result in a chewier bite.  Season well with salt and pepper, I used a steak seasoning and marinaded one of the four and they all tasted wonderful, then place into the smoker. If you have one, insert a probe to monitor temperature. If you don't have a probe device, use a meat thermometer to start checking the internal temperature at about 1.5 hours in.  Once the internal temp at the thickest part reaches 130-140f, remove the meat from the smoker and wrap tightly in foil or butchers paper. Allow to rest 20 minutes.  After resting, slice against the grain into 1/4&
