Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Tri Tip

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub the olive oil over the tri tip roast and then coat it evenly with the spice mixture.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Cover the seasoned tri tip with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for better flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Tri Tip

    Place the marinated tri tip on the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

  3. 5

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the tri tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

  4. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the tri tip against the grain into thin slices and serve immediately.
