Ingredients

• Tri Tip Rub, recipe follows
• 2 1/2 to 3-pound tri tip
• Bread buns or rolls, of your preference
• Mungo-lian Barbeque Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Tri Tip / Steak Rub:

Equal amounts of mustard seed, dry mustard, granulated garlic powder, freshly ground or cracked black pepper and kosher salt

Mix all ingredients except salt. Salt can be added to the meat before the rub but in proportion to the type of meat you are grilling.

Mungo-lian Barbeque Sauce:

1/3 stick butter

1/2 medium onion, chopped fine

1 dash liquid smoke

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 cups ketchup

1 tablespoon cracked black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 dash yellow prepared mustard

1 lemon, juiced

Heat butter in a sauce pan until bubbly. Add onion and cook until softened. Add liquid smoke and Worcestershire sauce and cook 1 minute. Add the sugar, ketchup, black pepper, cayenne pepper and the dash of mustard. (The mustard will make the sauce very tangy, be careful not to add too much.) Mix and let simmer slowly for about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, to taste, to balance out the sugar. Mix and turn off flame. Sauce is ready to use.
