Ingredients
- 1 3-pound tri-tip roast
- 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup preferred BBQ sauce plus more for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to 350°F for two-zone grilling. This helps you get a good sear and control the cooking heat.
- Rub the tri-tip roast on all sides with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes so the flavors can settle.
- In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil, butter, and BBQ sauce. Warm the mixture gently until well blended to create a basting sauce.
- Place the tri-tip on the cooler, indirect heat side of the grill. Grill for about 20 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes. Baste with the warmed sauce after each flip to keep the meat moist.
- Move the tri-tip to the direct heat zone and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until desired internal temperature is reached (around 130°F for medium-rare). Remove from grill, let rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
