GRILLED TRI-TIP WITH OREGON HERB RUB

Grilled Tri-Tip with Oregon Herb Rub image

I have loved tri-tip (bottom sirloin) ever since my father-in-law in Santa Barbara introduced me to it. Tri-tip is a cut of meat that first became popular in Santa Maria, on the central coast of California. I love the taste of the original Santa Maria rub, but this is even better.

Time 4h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
½ teaspoon celery salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon dried dill
¼ teaspoon dried sage
¼ teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
1 (2 1/2 pound) beef tri-tip roast

Steps:

Mix together the salt, garlic salt, celery salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, dill, sage, and rosemary in a bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.
Use a damp towel to lightly moisten the roast with water, then pat with the prepared rub. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, up to overnight, for the flavors to fully come together.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
Place the roast onto the preheated grill and quickly cook until brown on all sides to sear the meat, then remove. Reset the grill for medium-low indirect heat (if using charcoal, move coals to the outside edges of the grill pit).
Return the roast to the grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the desired degree of doneness has been reached, about 1 1/2 hours for medium-well. Remove from the grill and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving across the grain in thin slices to serve.

Tips:

Choose a high-quality tri-tip roast. Look for a roast that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
Trim the roast of any excess fat. This will help the rub adhere to the meat and prevent it from burning.
Apply a generous amount of rub to the roast, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
Let the roast rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the rub to penetrate the meat and develop its flavors.
Cook the roast over indirect heat, aiming for a temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Conclusion:

Tri-tip roast is a delicious and versatile cut of beef that can be cooked in a variety of ways. When rubbed with a flavorful blend of spices and herbs, it becomes a truly special dish. Whether you choose to cook it in the oven, on the grill, or in a smoker, tri-tip roast is sure to please everyone at your table.
