Method
Preparing the Tri Tip
- 1
Season the Tri Tip
Rub the tri-tip roast with olive oil, ensuring it is evenly coated. In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Generously season the roast on all sides with the spice mixture.
- 2
Marinate
Let the seasoned tri-tip sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to marinate. If you have more time, consider marinating it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for more flavor.

Cook the Tri Tip
Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, place the tri-tip on the grill over medium-high heat. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes, then move to indirect heat and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. If baking, place the tri-tip on a roasting rack in a baking dish and cook until it reaches the same temperature.

Rest the Meat
Once cooked, remove the tri-tip from the heat and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Slice the Meat
After resting, slice the tri-tip against the grain into thin slices.
