Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Tri-Tip
Trim any excess fat from the tri-tip roast. Pat it dry with paper towels to ensure the rub adheres well.
- 2
Make the Dry Rub
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- 3
Rub the Meat
Generously coat the tri-tip roast with the dry rub, ensuring all sides are well covered. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.
Cooking
- 4
Prepare the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). If using charcoal, let the coals burn down until they are covered with gray ash.
- 5
Sear the Tri-Tip
Place the tri-tip roast on the grill over direct heat. Sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until it develops a nice crust.
- 6
Indirect Cooking
Move the tri-tip to the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat) and close the lid. Cook for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
BBQ Sauce Preparation
- 7
Make the BBQ Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well blended.
- 8
Simmer
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
