Time 4h35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 -3 lbs beef tri-tip roast or 2 -3 lbs top sirloin roast
1 tablespoon black pepper, fresh-ground
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup garlic-infused vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Mix together the black pepper, garlic, onion, paprika, cayenne, rosemary, and salt and rub on the meat. Let stand at 1-4 hours.
  • Prepare the barbecue grill, using water-soaked oak chips (preferred, if you can find them) or mesquite chips on the charcoal to produce smoke.
  • Drizzle the oil slowly into vinegar, whisking rapidly. Brush on the meat as soon as you put it on the grill.
  • Grill the meat over direct heat, medium-high. Turn at least 3 times, basting every time. Grill 30-35 minutes, to 140 degrees F.
  • Slice about 1/8" to 1/4" thick across the grain and serve with corn tortillas and salsa.
