Ingredients

• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup red wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 piece tri-tip roast (about 2-3 pounds)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Add the smoked paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, onion powder, and ground cumin to the mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly.

Step 3

Place the tri-tip roast in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is completely coated.

Step 4

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results, turning the meat occasionally to ensure even marination.

Step 5

Remove the tri-tip roast from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F) and oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Remove the tri-tip from the marinade and discard any excess liquid. Pat the meat dry with paper towels for a better sear.

Step 8

Grill the tri-tip over direct heat for about 5-7 minutes per side to achieve a good sear. Then move it to indirect heat, cover, and continue grilling for 25-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.

Step 9

Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender, flavorful result.

Step 10

Slice the tri-tip against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly marinated barbecue tri-tip!
