4.3 from 65 reviews

This Best Oven Roasted Tri Tip recipe delivers a perfectly seared and tender roast with a flavorful spice rub. The tri tip is first seared in a hot cast iron skillet to create a crisp crust, then finished in the oven to your desired doneness. Resting the meat ensures juicy, tender slices perfect for a hearty dinner.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Oil

  • 3 pound tri tip
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil

Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 375°F to prepare for roasting the tri tip.
  2. Mix the Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper to create the steak seasoning blend.
  3. Prepare the Tri Tip: Trim any excess fat from the tri tip if desired, then pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
  4. Apply the Seasoning: Rub the seasoning mix all over the tri tip, covering it evenly for maximum flavor penetration.
  5. Sear the Meat: Heat a large cast iron skillet on the stovetop over high heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil once hot, then sear the tri tip for 4-5 minutes on each side, creating a crisp, browned crust.
  6. Roast in the Oven: Transfer the hot skillet with the seared tri tip into the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 10-15 minutes per pound, depending on desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy; remove the tri tip at 125°F for medium-rare.
  7. Rest the Meat: Take the tri tip out of the oven and loosely cover it with foil. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy slices.
  8. Slice Against the Grain: Place the tri tip on a cutting board and slice against the grain to maximize tenderness.
  9. Serve and Garnish: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve alongside potatoes and vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to achieve exact doneness and avoid overcooking.
  • Resting the meat is crucial to retain juices and tender texture.
  • You can adjust cayenne pepper according to your preferred spice level.
  • Let the skillet get very hot before searing to ensure a good crust.
  • Tri tip is best sliced thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
