Ingredients
2 pound tri tip roast1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450° F. Use a roasting pan with a rack on the bottom.Combine the seasonings in a dish, then rub it liberally all over the roast. Place the tri tip in the prepared roasting pan, fat side up (if there is a fat cap).
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° F and continue roasting meat for another 10 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 130° F for medium rare or 140° F for medium.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. This allows the meat to come up to the proper temperature and time for the juices to redistribute

Notes
- Be sure to trim off all but a 1/4″ fat cap on only one side.
- Plan on about 10 minutes in the oven per pound.
- Don’t rely on time to cook a perfect roast. Take it out of the oven at 130F for medium rare and 140F for medium.
