Season the tri tip with Santa Maria rub and 16 mesh black pepper, covering it nicely.

Let the seasoned tri tip chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

Preheat the Yoda grill to 225°F and place the tri tip on the grill.

Insert a probe into the tri tip to monitor the temperature.

After about 30-45 minutes, check the internal temperature of the tri tip.

Prepare the beer cheese sauce by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan, then whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for about a minute.

Add 1 cup of Bud Light to the flour mixture and whisk together.

Slowly add 3/4 cup of heavy cream to the mixture and stir well.

Incorporate 1 clove of garlic, hot sauce, and deli mustard into the cheese sauce, mixing well.

Season the cheese sauce with kosher salt and cracked pepper, then add 8 oz of smoked cheddar and 8 oz of Gruyere cheddar, stirring until melted.

Once the tri tip reaches an internal temperature of 115-120°F, remove it from the grill and increase the grill temperature.

Sear the tri tip on the grill for about 10 minutes.

Let the tri tip rest before slicing against the grain.

Assemble the sliders using the slider buns, adding ranch sauce, sliced tri tip, and the beer cheese sauce on top.
