BBQ Chili Lime Tri-Tip
BBQ tri tip yields tender juicy strips of meat with a hearty flavorful crust.
My favorite way to serve BBQ tri tip is with roasted pablano peppers
and fresh squeezed lime juice.

I like to buy untrimmed tri-tip and trim it myself. I leave a small layer of fat on it to help create a nice lightly charred crust. The fat renders down adding extra flavor and juiciness to each bite.

Coat the meat on all sides evenly with a generous amount of the rub and let it set for a half hour to an hour while you get the grill ready. Letting the meat rest before cooking will allow for a much more even cook throughout the roast

Set up your grill for direct and indirect grilling.
You want to keep the heat somewhat low
so don't use too much charcoal or set your gas grill to medium low.
Add a few chunks of wood. I use mesquite

Sear the tri-tip lightly on both sides over the direct heat side of the grill. Keep a close eye on it during this step being careful not to over cook it. About 5 min per side. Once it has a nice color to it then move it to the indirect side of the grill and close the lid. Try to keep the temp kind of low 250 ish.

Smoke the roast until it reaches 130 deg. Then pull it out and let it rest for 20 min.
When ready to serve, slice it against the grain.

The roasted pablano is meaty and flavorful but not too spicy and the
lime juice really enhances the sweetness of the meat
