Grilled Tri-Tip Sliders

Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- Tri-Tip:
- 2½ - 3 lbs. tri-tip strip
- Bull sweet heat dry rub
- Caramelized Onions:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
- Kosher Salt and pepper to taste
- Sliders:
- 20 mini buns/rolls
- Grilled tri-tip, thinly sliced
- Caramelized onions
- Bull’s bbq sauce
- Room temp butter for grilled rolls
Instructions
- For the Tri-Tip: Using Bull’s competition lump charcoal and black chimney starter, build a medium-hot fire on the Bison grill. Once the charcoal is ready, spread it out evenly. Position the charcoal tray at the halfway point, for direct heat and grilling.
Season the trip tip generously with Bull’s sweet heat dry rub. Place the tri tip directly over the hot coals and cook for about 40 minutes with the lid closed and air vents open. Turn every 15 minutes, until Bull's thermometer inserted into the thick end reads 140 degrees F. 
Once done, remove the tri-tip from the grill and allow it to rest. Take the buttered slider rolls and place over the coals to lightly grill till golden brown and warm. - For the Caramelized Onions: In a thick bottom pot, preheat on medium-high heat. Once the pot lightly smokes, add the butter. It will turn brown right away. Add the onions, salt and pepper and mix well. Allow the onions to sit and cook without touching for about 6 minutes. Stir the onions and allow to cook another 6 minutes or until golden brown.
- To Plate: Spread Bull’s bbq sauce on the bottom and top section of the buns. Follow by adding a few slices of tri-tip onto the bottom bun and top off with a spoonful of caramelized onions. Enjoy!
