This simple recipe allows the natural flavor of the beef to stand out. The rosemary and smokiness of the grill are wonderful accents, while the lemon zest cuts through the rich beef.
Ingredients
- 1 beef tri-tip roast
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest of 2 lemons
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
Preparation
Season the tri-tip with salt and pepper.
Combine rosemary, garlic, and lemon zest on a cutting board with 1 tablespoon olive oil and rough chop to create a paste. Rub this mixture all over the beef, then add the remaining olive oil to spread evenly over the roast. Allow roast to rest at room temperature for 45 minutes or in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Grill roast over direct heat to sear about 6–8 minutes per side, and then move to an unheated portion of the grill. Start checking the internal temperature after 20 minutes. When it reaches 135°F for medium-rare, take tri-tip off the grill and let rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. Depending on the size of the roast, this could take up to 30 minutes total cooking time.
