BBQ Tri-Tip

On this piss hot day I always look to do some grilling, mainly because it just gets way too hot in the kitchen and I don't really feel like turning on the oven to roast a tri tip in the dead of heat summer.  So I grab a sixer of Asahi Kuronama and light up the grill.  


Rub:
Kosher Salt
Coarse Ground Pepper
Finely Chopped Rosemary
Finely Chopped Thyme
Ground Coriander Seed


Dry marinade for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Let the meat stand for about 1 hour so that is returns to room temperature.  It should look like this.

Set up your grill for indirect heat and add some of your favorite wood on top of the charcoal for extra smoke flavor.  I am using some chunks of cherry wood and Kingsford charcoal.  Cook for about 45-60 minutes depending on how hot your grill is.  Mine is relatively small so it tends to get piss hot and cook faster.









Look at this dog trying to suck up because he wants a piece of that meat.  Not going to work buddy.
