Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons oil, olive divided
2.5 Pounds onion, red halved, thinly sliced
0.25 Teaspoon pepper, black
1 Teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:
For caramelized red onions:

Melt butter with olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until deep golden brown, stirring frequently, about 30 minutes. Stir in vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Remove from heat. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before serving.) Stir in chives.

For tri-tip:

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Mix garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in small bowl. Brush both sides of tri-tips with oil and sprinkle with garlic-powder mixture, pressing to adhere. Grill tri-tips 5 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium-low, or if using charcoal grill, move meat to cooler side of grill. Cover and grill until thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 125 to 130 degrees for medium-rare, brushing with barbecue sauce and turning every 10 minutes, about 30 minutes longer.

Transfer tri-tips to work surface; let stand 10 minutes. Cut meat crosswise into very thin slices; arrange on platter. Surround with caramelized onions and serve.

Chef?s Note: Slicing this sturdy cut of beef very thinly after grilling makes it tenderer. What to drink: Spicy, jammy Zinfandel from California pairs beautifully with barbecue ? as does pale ale.
