Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 35 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 50 mins


• using a sharp knife, cut small slits into the top of the roast. stuff the slits with slices of garlic.
• mix together salt, pepper, and garlic salt. rub entire mixture all over the tri-tip. refrigerate at least an hour and up to all day. take the meat out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before grilling.
• preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• place the meat directly above the flame for 5 to 10 minutes per side (depending on thickness) to sear the meat and lock in the juices.
• turn the grill down to medium heat and continue to cook for another 25 to 30 minutes, trying not to flip it too much. check for doneness with a meat thermometer. thermometer should read at least 145 degrees f (63 degrees c) for medium-rare. let stand, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 5 minutes before slicing.
