Instructions
Preheat your cleaned and oiled grill to medium-high heat (450°F / 232°C) and set it up for two-zone grilling.
Brush olive oil over all sides of the tri-tip roast, then season it generously all over with steak seasoning or your favorite beef rub.
Place your prepared tri-tip on the grill grate over direct heat. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer the tri-tip to indirect heat (or simply reduce the heat of your grill to 350°F (175°C).
Close your grill and let the roast cook for 30-40 minutes, flipping every 6-7 minutes. Remove the roast from the grill when it reaches an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
Transfer the tri-tip to a tray or cutting board and tent a piece of foil loosely over the top. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain to serve.
Notes
A tri-tip roast may also be called a California cut, Santa Maria roast, triangle steak (or triangle roast), or Newport steak.
For even cooking, let your tri-tip come to room temperature for 40 minutes to an hour before cooking.
For your preferred level of doneness, remove the tri-tip from the grill when it reaches the following internal temperature:
120-125°F (49-52°C) for rare
130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare
145°F (63°C) for medium
150°F (66°C) for medium-well
160°F (71°C) for well-done
Resting the roast is essential to maintaining a juicy roast and prevents your roast from drying out.
To store: Leftover grilled tri-tip should be placed in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days. Alternatively, it may be frozen for up to 3 months in a sealed airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag.
To reheat: Place a baking pan full of water on a lower rack in your oven, then set a roasting rack above it. Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C). Place the tri-tip roast on the roasting rack and let it reheat for about 20 minutes, or until it is warmed to your satisfaction. Use your meat thermometer to check the internal temperature as it reheats.
