PREP
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat,
warm the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic & cook, stirring
occasionally, until soft - about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth.
ketchup, steak sauce, parsely, Worcestershire sauce, ground coffee, and black pepper.

stirring until reduced to 1/4 cup - about 10 minutes. Puree the sauce in a food
processor or blender. Allow to cool - cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

MAKING THE RUB
In a small bowl: mix together the black
pepper, garlic salt, mustard, paprika, and cayenne. Press the mixture into the
surface of the tri-tip, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3 to 24 hours.

wood chips. Sear the tri-tip directly over medium heat, turning once, until both
sides are seared - about 5 minutes total. Then, grill the tri-tip indirectly over
medium heat, turning once, until the internal temperature is approximately 140*F for
medium-rare - 20-30 minutes more. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly
on the diagonal, against the grain.

dollop of sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature.
