Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds tri-tip roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme to create the seasoning rub.
Pat the tri-tip roast dry with paper towels, then drizzle olive oil over the meat, rubbing it evenly to coat all sides.
Generously apply the seasoning rub onto the tri-tip, pressing it into the meat to adhere.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the tri-tip roast on the grill over direct heat. Sear each side for 4-5 minutes to achieve a nice crust.
Move the tri-tip to indirect heat, close the grill lid, and cook for 20-25 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, or 150°F for medium-well.
Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the tri-tip thinly against the grain for tender, juicy slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!
