Ingredients

2 (3 lb) tri-tip roast
Seasoning Salt Mixture
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons white pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 tablespoons granulated garlic
6 tablespoons salt
Basting Sauce
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup garlic-infused vegetable oil

Directions

1

Heat a grill to low (use Oakwood instead of charcoal if possible.).
2

Mix together the seasoning salt mixture. Whisk together the red wine vinegar and olive oil for the basting sauce.
3

Coat both sides of the tri-tips with HALF of the seasoning mixture, rubbing it in as you would a dry rub. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
4

Place the tri-tips over a low temperature fire, 1 with fat side up, and the other with fat side down. Turn as the first side gets crispy, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Be careful of flare-ups, as the dripping fat will fuel the fire. Turn the tri-tips before the heat pushes juices out the top, and continue to turn using this timing method throughout the cooking process.
5

After turning, baste with sauce and season lightly with remaining seasoning mixture, 4 times per side. Continue turning until the tri-tips are cooked to your liking. Remove from fire and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into 1/2-inch slices against the grain.
