Grilled Tri-Tip Ingredients

Method

Grilled Tri-Tip Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tri-Tip

    Place the tri-tip roast in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

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

  4. 4

    Grill the Tri-Tip

    Remove the tri-tip from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the meat on the grill and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side.

  5. 5

    Cook to Desired Doneness

    Reduce the heat to medium and continue grilling for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

  6. 6

    Rest and Slice

    Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve.
