Lemon-garlic grilled beef tri-tip roast with vegetables

Ingredients. 1 beef tri-tip roast; 4 ears of corn, husked; 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed; 1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges

Marinade. ½ cup dry white wine; 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 1 tablespoon no-salt-added lemon pepper seasoning; 1 tablespoon minced garlic; 1 teaspoon lemon zest; ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Seasoning. 2 teaspoons no-salt-added lemon pepper (divided)

Here are the cooking instructions:

1. Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef tri-tip roast and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn roast to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator for 15 minutes to 2 hours, turning occasionally.

2. Remove roast from marinade; discard marinade. Pat dry with paper towel. Prepare gas grill for indirect cooking by lighting two-thirds to half your grill, leaving remainder off. When grill is hot (10-15 minutes), place roast directly above flames. Cover and sear all sides of roast, about 8 minutes each. Move roast to unlit area on grill. Cover and cook 14-16 minutes until medium rare (135 degrees F) to medium (150 degrees) doneness, turning occasionally. Place vegetables directly above flames. Cover and cook corn 15 to 20 minutes; asparagus 7 to 11 minutes; and onions 11 to 15 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally. Remove roast. Let roast stand for five to 10 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5 to 10 degrees  to reach 145 degrees for medium rare; 160 degrees F for medium.)

3. Carve roast against the grain into ¼-inch slices; season with 1 teaspoon lemon pepper. Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon lemon pepper over vegetables; toss gently. Season roast and vegetables with salt and pepper, as desired.

Season kabobs with salt, as desired. (To broil, place kabobs on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 9 to 12 minutes for medium rare doneness, turning once.)
