Prepare the grill using embers, not flames, and check the heat by holding your hand above the coals for 6 seconds.

Place the beef tenderloin on the grill and cook it extremely slow, fat side first.

Add the tri tip to the grill, also fat side first, and cook for about 1.5 hours on that side.

Season the meat with only salt while it cooks on the grill.
