Pawpa Bear's Smoky Chipotle Tri-Tip

Looking for a delicious way to bring steakhouse flavor to your backyard barbecue?

Ingredients:

• 1 tri-tip roast, approximately 2–3 pounds

• 1–2 tablespoons Pawpa Flavor Chipotle, adjusted to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Optional: Pawpa Flavor SPG for additional garlic and pepper flavor

Directions:

1. Pat the tri-tip dry with paper towels.

2. Lightly coat with olive oil.

3. Season evenly with Chipotle on all sides.

4. For additional flavor, apply a light layer of Pawpa Flavor SPG.

5. Allow the seasoning to adhere while you preheat your grill or smoker.

6. Cook using your preferred grilling or smoking method until the beef reaches your desired safe internal temperature.

7. Rest before slicing thinly against the grain.

Pawpa Bear's Tip: Chipotle and SPG make an incredible combination on tri-tip. Start with a light layer of SPG, then add Chipotle for smoky flavor without overwhelming the natural taste of the beef.
