Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 piece tri-tip roast (about 2-3 pounds)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the smoked paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, onion powder, and ground cumin to the mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly.
Place the tri-tip roast in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is completely coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results, turning the meat occasionally to ensure even marination.
Remove the tri-tip roast from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F) and oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Remove the tri-tip from the marinade and discard any excess liquid. Pat the meat dry with paper towels for a better sear.
Grill the tri-tip over direct heat for about 5-7 minutes per side to achieve a good sear. Then move it to indirect heat, cover, and continue grilling for 25-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender, flavorful result.
Slice the tri-tip against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly marinated barbecue tri-tip!
