Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Zip-top bag or shallow dish
  • Grill or oven-safe skillet
  • Meat thermometer
  • Tongs
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Aluminum foil (optional for resting)

Ingredients
  

For the Marinade

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

For the Tri Tip

  • 2 to 2.5 pounds tri tip roast
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Make the Marinade

  • In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, smoked paprika, rosemary, and thyme.
  • The smell at this point is incredible—savory, slightly tangy, and warm from the spices.

Step 2: Marinate the Tri Tip

  • Place the tri tip in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over it, making sure every surface is well coated.
  • Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but if you have time, let it sit overnight. That’s when the real magic happens.

Step 3: Bring to Room Temperature

  • Take the meat out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.

Step 4: Preheat and Prepare

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using the oven, preheat to 200°C (400°F).
  • Remove the meat from the marinade and lightly pat it dry. Season with a bit of salt.

Step 5: Cook the Tri Tip

  • Place the meat on the grill. Cook for about 30–35 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness:
  • 57°C (135°F) for medium-rare
  • 63°C (145°F) for medium

Step 6: Rest the Meat

  • Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes. Cover loosely with foil.
  • This step is crucial—it keeps the meat juicy.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

  • Slice against the grain into thin slices. Serve immediately.
