Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 2 ½ pounds tri-tip roast, about 1½ inches thick
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 handful oak, mesquite, or hickory wood chips
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup steak sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Combine 1 tablespoon black pepper, 2 teaspoons garlic salt, 1 teaspoon mustard powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the tri-tip roast and wrap tightly in plastic. Refrigerate for 3 to 24 hours.
- Soak wood chips in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- In a saucepan, mix ½ cup ketchup, ¼ cup steak sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, and 2 tablespoons water. Cook for 5 minutes and allow to cool.
- Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (350°F to 450°F). Add soaked wood chips to the grill. Wait for smoke to appear before grilling the meat.
- Place the tri-tip over the fire to sear for about 5 minutes, turning once. Move to indirect heat and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until the temperature reaches 140°F. Tent with foil and rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Slice the tri-tip against the grain into thin slices and serve with BBQ sauce.
Notes
For best flavor, allow the tri-tip to marinate overnight.
Using a meat thermometer ensures perfect doneness without overcooking.
Feel free to adjust the BBQ sauce ingredients to suit your taste.
