Gettin’ Started

Before we get down to the nitty-gritty, make sure you’ve got everything you’ll need for this savory cut of meat. The tri-tip is seasoned perfectly and grilled to juicy perfection. Here’s what you’ll need:

Grilled Tri-Tip Roast

Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs tri-tip roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for some heat)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or cilantro)

Instructions

  1. Start off by making a seasoning rub. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if you’re feelin’ a bit spicy.
  2. Drizzle the olive oil over the tri-tip roast and massage that rub all over the meat until it’s well coated. Let it get comfy by marinating for at least 30 minutes – an hour is even better if you can wait!
  3. While that’s sittin’, prepare your grill. Get the heat up to medium-high, around 400°F. If you’re using a charcoal grill, make sure your coals are ashy and hot.
  4. Once your grill is ready, place the tri-tip on it fat side up. Sear it for about 5-7 minutes on each side until you get those beautiful grill marks and a nice crust forms.
  5. After searing, move the roast to a cooler part of the grill and cover it. Let it cook for about 25-35 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 135°F for medium-rare. If you like it less pink, go for 145°F.
  6. When it’s done, take that bad boy off the grill and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes. This helps all those juicy flavors settle in.
  7. Slice against the grain, serve it up, and sprinkle fresh herbs for that pop of color!

And there you have it! A delicious Grilled Tri-Tip Roast that’ll have everyone raving about your grilling skills. Serve this up with your favorite sides, and watch ’em come back for seconds. Enjoy!
