Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 pounds tri tip roast
- 1.5 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon Lawry’s seasoning salt
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried or fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Select Your Roast: Choose a well-marbled tri tip roast, preferably from a local butcher or high-end grocery store for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Mix the Seasonings: In a small bowl, blend garlic salt, Lawry’s seasoning salt, kosher salt, black pepper, sugar, garlic powder, and parsley to create a flavorful spice mix.
- Prepare for Cooking: If grilling, trim the fat cap from the roast; if roasting, leave it intact for added moisture.
- Season the Roast: Generously rub the spice mixture all over the roast. Place it in a large ziplock bag, drizzle with olive oil, seal the bag, and massage the oil into the meat to ensure even coating.
- Marinate: Store the seasoned roast in the fridge for about 8 hours, turning occasionally. For added convenience, you can marinate for up to 3 days or as little as 15 minutes if pressed for time.
- Preheat for Grilling: If grilling, remove the roast from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature. Preheat the grill to high heat.
- Sear the Roast: Discard the marinade (or reserve for a pan sauce). Grease the grill grates, then sear the roast over high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until you get a beautiful crust.
- Cook Indirectly: Turn off the heat on one side of the grill where the meat will be placed and cook indirectly. Grill for about 20-25 minutes or 10-15 minutes per pound, depending on your desired doneness.
- Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the roast from the grill and cover with foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to retain the juices before slicing against the grain.
- Preheat for Roasting: If using the oven, preheat to 400°F.
- Set Up for Roasting: Line a baking sheet with foil and place an oven-safe cooling rack on top to allow heat circulation.
- Sear in a Skillet: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, sear the roast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer to the cooling rack.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, checking for your desired level of doneness after about 20 minutes.
- Final Rest: Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes, ensuring maximum juiciness before slicing against the grain.
