Grilled Tri-Tip with Oregon Herb Rub

Recipe By: CHIEFWMS   Photo By: LAFEMME83
Tri-tip is a California central coast specialty, claimed to have been first introduced in the Santa Maria area. This recipe adds dill, sage, and rosemary to the basic Santa Maria recipe. Tri tip is a flavorful cut of meat that really shines when it is slow grill-roasted or smoked. Great with a green salad or layered onto French bread for a juicy beef sandwich.

  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) beef tri-tip roast
 
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.

This is amazing. We tried this a couple weeks ago and had some of our family over, we all got hooked. Even my little one loved it. I just stocked up the freezer with more tri-tip and we're having it again tonight. So delicious.

I have made this several times and it is always a big hit. The only change I make is to use garlic power rather than garlic salt. This is a super recipe - LOVE IT>
