Ingredients

1 3-pound tri tip roast
2 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Beef Rub or equal parts salt, pepper, and garlic powder
½ cup Hey Grill Hey Texas Style BBQ Sauce recipe link in notes below
¼ cup melted butter

Instructions

Preheat. Preheat your grill to 350 degrees F for two-zone grilling.
Season. Season the tri tip on all sides with Beef Rub and place it on the indirect heat on your grill.
Warm the sauce. Place the butter and BBQ sauce in a medium saucepan and onto your grill to heat through.
Grill the tri tip. Grill the tri tip on indirect heat, flipping every 6-7 minutes. Close the lid in between each flip.
Add sauce. Mop liberally with BBQ butter sauce after each time you flip the roast. Continue to grill the tri tip until the internal temperature reads one of the following: 115 degrees F for a rare roast (about 30 minutes), 125 degrees F for a medium-rare roast (about 35 minutes), or 135 degrees F for a medium roast (about 40 minutes).
Finish grilling. When the roast reaches the desired internal temperature for the doneness you prefer, move it over to direct heat and grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches your desired finished doneness: 125 degrees F for rare, 135 degrees F for medium-rare, or 145 degrees F for medium.
Rest, slice, and serve. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with additional BBQ sauce.
