Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tri Tip

    Place the tri tip roast in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill or Oven

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a grill, ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.

  2. 4

    Sear the Tri Tip

    Remove the tri tip from the marinade and let any excess drip off. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the tri tip for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

  3. 5

    Roast the Tri Tip

    Transfer the seared tri tip to the preheated grill or oven. Grill or roast for about 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.

  4. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the tri tip from the heat and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
