Garlic and Herb Grilled Tri-Tip

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic and Herb Grilled Tri-Tip.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a sharp knife and carefully make small slits in the top of your tri-tip roast.

2. Step 2

   This is where the magic happens—insert thinly sliced garlic into each slit for a burst of flavor.

3. Step 3

   In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, and garlic salt.

4. Step 4

   Generously rub this seasoning blend all over the tri-tip, making sure every inch is coated.

5. Step 5

   For the best flavor, cover the roast and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or up to a full day if you have the time.

6. Step 6

   When you're ready to grill, take the tri-tip out of the fridge about 20 minutes beforehand to let it come to room temperature.

7. Step 7

   Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and give the grate a light oiling to keep things from sticking.

8. Step 8

   Now, place the tri-tip directly over the flames to sear it, cooking for about 5 to 10 minutes on each side.

9. Step 9

   This step is crucial for locking in those delicious juices.

10. Step 10

    After searing, lower the grill heat to medium and continue cooking the tri-tip, turning it occasionally, for another 25 to 30 minutes.

11. Step 11

    To ensure it’s cooked just right, use an instant-read thermometer; you’re aiming for a perfect 145°F (63°C) for that ideal medium-rare finish.

12. Step 12

    Once it’s done, remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil.

13. Step 13

    This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, making every slice tender and flavorful.

14. Step 14

    Now, slice into your beautifully grilled tri-tip and enjoy the savory goodness you’ve created!.
