Perfectly Grilled Tri-Tip Steak for a Charcoal Barbecue

Ingredients

- 3-pound Tri-Tip Roast
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Black Pepper
- 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 3 tablespoons Salted Butter

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tri-Tip:
Pat the tri-tip roast dry with paper towels. This helps the oil and seasonings adhere better and promotes even grilling.

2. Seasoning:
Rub the tri-tip roast with olive oil, ensuring it is well coated. Generously season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, pressing the spices firmly into the meat.

3. Prepare Your Grill:
Set up a charcoal grill for indirect heat by placing the coals on one side of the grill. Preheat the grill to about 350°F. This setup enables the tri-tip to cook evenly with a nice sear from the direct heat later.

4. Start Grilling:
Place the tri-tip roast on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat), cover with the grill lid, and cook for about 20 minutes per pound, turning occasionally. Monitor internal temperature, aiming for 130°F for medium-rare.

5. Sear to Finish:
Once the internal temperature is reached, move the roast over directly to the hot coals for a quick 5-7 minute sear on each side. This caramelizes the exterior, creating a delicious crust.

6. Rest and Butter Finish:
Transfer the roast to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. During this time, melt the salted butter until foamy and then brush it all over the roast for additional richness and flavor.

7. Slice and Serve:
Cut the tri-tip against the grain in thin slices for maximum tenderness. Serve immediately while it's warm.
