  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
