Here is a recipe and how to grill a tri-tip.

EditTips

An alternative way to avoid use of butter altogether is by just covering the steak in crushed garlic and good, fresh, black pepper
Try adding different spice combinations to the vegetables to give it a special something.
Don't use a temperature gauge and poke a hole in the meat. This will allow the flavorful juices to seep out onto the flames and could burn the steaks in a short period of time.
Leftover tri-tip slices are great for sandwiches.
Don't forget to season it with salt and black ground pepper before cooking.
