Ingredients

• 2 pounds Tri-tip roast
• 2 tablespoons Ground coffee
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the ground coffee, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper to make the spice rub.

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the tri-tip roast and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Rub the tri-tip all over with olive oil to help the spice rub adhere.

Step 4

Generously coat the tri-tip with the spice rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure an even layer on all sides.

Step 5

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add your preferred wood chips, such as hickory, oak, or cherry, for smoke flavor.

Step 6

Place the tri-tip on the smoker grate and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.

Step 7

Smoke the tri-tip until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium. This usually takes about 90 minutes, but monitor the temperature closely for accuracy.

Step 8

Remove the tri-tip from the smoker and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice the tri-tip against the grain into thin slices and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
