Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt or coarse sea salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 well-trimmed 2 1/2- to 2 3/4-pound tri-tip beef roast
3 cups oak, mesquite, or hickory wood chips, soaked in water 1 hour and drained

Steps:

Cover grill and cook until thermometer inserted into thickest part of roast registers 128°F to 135°F for medium-rare, turning roast occasionally, about 13 minutes.
  • Transfer roast to platter. Let stand 10 minutes. Thinly slice roast across grain. Serve, passing sauce separately.

I've tried many tri-tip recipes, but this one is by far the best. The wood smoke adds such a wonderful flavor to the meat. And the Sicilian herb sauce is a great way to brighten up the dish.
