Ingredients
Meat
- 2 1/2 pound tri tip roast
Seasonings
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon Lawry’s seasoning salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, Diamond Crystal
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried or fresh parsley
Others
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Seasoning Rub: In a small bowl, combine garlic salt, Lawry’s seasoning salt, kosher salt, black pepper, sugar, garlic powder, and parsley to create a uniform dry rub.
- Apply Olive Oil: Rub the tri tip roast evenly with the olive oil, ensuring the surface is well coated to help the seasoning adhere and promote browning.
- Season the Meat: Generously apply the seasoning rub all over the surface of the tri tip roast, pressing it into the meat to form a flavorful crust.
- Preheat Grill or Oven: For grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). For oven-roasting, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cook the Tri Tip: If grilling, then place the tri tip roast on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally to develop an even crust and reaching an internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare. If oven-roasting, place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan and cook for approximately 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F.
- Rest the Meat: Remove the tri tip from heat and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and moist meat.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the tri tip steak against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness; medium-rare is best for tri-tip.
- Letting the meat rest after cooking helps keep it juicy.
- If you prefer well-done, increase cooking time accordingly, but be careful not to dry out the meat.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried parsley for a brighter flavor.
- Tri tip steak is great served with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
