Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 Tri-tip roast with the fat cap removed
- 2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 2 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Red Wine
- 2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
- 4 cloves Crushed Garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill. Set your charcoal grill or gas grill to 350 degrees F for two-zone grilling.
- Season the tri-tip. Season the tri-tip roast all over with rub of choice or make your own dry rub using equal parts kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Get the mopping liquid ready. Combine all the ingredients for your mopping liquid in a bowl before grilling your tri-tip.
- Indirect grilling. Over indirect heat, place the seasoned roast directly on the grill grates. Flip the tri-tip every 6-7 minutes on the grill. After each flip, mop liberally with mopping liquid and sauce. Keep grilling until your roast is within 10 degrees of your final target temperature (see next section).
- Sear your roast. Turn the tri-tip over to direct heat and grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until done to your liking. Medium rare is a good cooking temperature for this grilled tri-tip. You'll get a juicy, flavorful steak without it drying out.
- Let it rest and serve. Rest your meat for 10-15 minutes on a cutting board. Cut it against the grain in thin slices and serve it up.
