Ingredients:
- Lane’s Brisket Rub
- Lane’s Spellbound Rub
- Lane’s Kinda Sweet Sauce
- tri-tip roast
- Duke’s mayo
- ½ stick of butter, sliced
Instructions:
1. Preheat grill/smoker to 275 degrees.
2. Trim any excess fat from the tri-tip roast and fully coat with a thin layer of mayo as your binder.
3. Season to taste with Brisket rub. It’s a larger cut of meat, so it can handle a heavy dose of seasoning.
4. Let roast sit for 10-15 minutes for rub to fully adhere and then smoke until internal temp reaches 185 degrees. It should take about 2 hours.
5. Let roast rest for 10 minutes then slice into 1-2 inch cubes. Try to keep them all around the same size as best as you can.
6. Add your beef, butter, Spellbound Rub and Kinda Sweet sauce to a disposable pan or baking dish and toss to coat all of the meat in the sauce. Place back on your smoker, covered, for 30 minutes.
7. Uncover, stir, then smoke uncovered until meat is able to fall apart with minimal pressure. Stir one last time and serve.
Recipe Note
1. SPG, Signature, and Spellbound(Hot) are great alternates to Brisket rub for this recipe.
2. For an extra kick of heat, try our Lil Spicy sauce instead of the Kinda Sweet.
