Instructions

Prepare the rub by mixing black pepper, garlic salt, mustard powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Coat the tri-tip roast in the spices, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours.
Soak the wood chips in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
Make the barbecue sauce by combining ketchup, steak sauce, garlic powder, granulated sugar, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, and water in a small saucepan, cooking for 5 minutes. Let cool and refrigerate until needed.
Set up the grill for two-zone cooking, targeting a temperature of 350°F to 450°F.
Sear the tri-tip over direct medium heat for about 5 minutes, then move it to indirect heat and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 140°F for medium rare. Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes under foil.
Slice the tri-tip diagonally across the grain into thin slices and serve with the barbecue sauce.

Notes

For the best flavor, allow the rub to sit on the roast overnight.
Make sure to let the meat rest after cooking to maintain juiciness.
You can customize the barbecue sauce to your taste by adjusting the sugar or adding spices.
