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.

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.

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.

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.
