Smoked Tex-Mex Style Tri-Tip

"As a local that used to live in Texas, I was inspired to create this dish to bring some of those flavors back home to Hawaii!" - Devin Boesing, Foodland Ambassador, Instagram: @BoeBoeCooks
Prep Time 4 hours
Cook Time 50 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients  

  • 1 Full size tri-tip steak
  • 1/2 can or 5 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Cumin
  • 1/2 cup Shoyu
  • 1 1/2 cups Orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 3 cloves Minced garlic (optional)
  • 1/4 cup Minced cilantro (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice (optional)

Instructions 

  • Blend chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, cumin, shoyu, orange juice, and olive oil to create marinade.
  • Pour marinade into an airtight bag with your tri-tip steak. Optional: Add minced garlic and cilantro. Refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours.
  • Let tri-tip come to room temperature and sear all sides on grill or stove top on high.
  • Smoke at 375 degrees until tri-tip reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees for medium rare (roughly 30-40 minutes).
  • Let rest for 10 minutes and slice against the grain.
  • Build tacos with corn tortillas, the tri-tip fajitas, avocado, salsa, cheese and any other topping of your choice.
  • Tip: This tri-tip is also great in fajitas with grilled onions and bell peppers!
