Best Tri Tip Roast With Tomato Red Barbecue Sauce Recipes

BBQ TRI TIP

Steps:

• 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.

BARBECUED TRI-TIP WITH CARAMELIZED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• For caramelized red onions:
• Melt butter with olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until deep golden brown, stirring frequently, about 30 minutes. Stir in vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Remove from heat. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before serving.) Stir in chives.
• For tri-tip:
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Mix garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in small bowl. Brush both sides of tri-tips with oil and sprinkle with garlic-powder mixture, pressing to adhere. Grill tri-tips 5 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium-low, or if using charcoal grill, move meat to cooler side of grill. Cover and grill until thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 125°F to 130°F for medium-rare, brushing with barbecue sauce and turning every 10 minutes, about 30 minutes longer.
• Transfer tri-tips to work surface; let stand 10 minutes. Cut meat crosswise into very thin slices; arrange on platter. Surround with caramelized onions and serve.

SANTA MARIA-STYLE BBQ TRI-TIP

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the granulated garlic, salt and pepper together and rub all over and into the meat. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Prepare a charcoal grill for direct and indirect medium-high heat. Add the chips about 30 minutes before grilling the beef.
• Set the tri-tip over direct heat, fat-side up, and sear until nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Flip over and sear other side.
• Move the tri-tip over the indirect-heat area, cover and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let rest at least 15 minutes. Slice the meat across the grain. Serve with Santa Maria Pinquito Bean Relish, Tomato Relish and Grilled French Bread.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and the fat has rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Add the poblano and onions to the bacon fat in the pan and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans and bacon and cook until warmed through. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Put into a serving bowl and top with cilantro or parsley leaves.
• Preheat the grill for high direct heat.
• Toss the tomatoes with the canola oil, season with salt and pepper and transfer to a grill basket. Grill, tossing once or twice, until charred on all sides. Remove the tomatoes to another bowl. Add the parsley or cilantro, olive oil, garlic paste, chiles and onions. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Mash the butter, garlic and some salt and pepper in a mortar and pestle.
• Brush the cut side of the bread lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the bread, cut-side down, until golden brown. Flip over and continue cooking for 30 seconds longer. Remove from the grill, slather with the garlic butter and cut each half into 4 pieces. Put the pieces on a platter and scatter parsley leaves over the top.
