1. Thaw and Season Roast
Completely thaw your roast in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours. Once thawed, pat dry and season with coarse sea salt and fresh ground black pepper or our Private Reverse Dry Rub.

2. Prep Grill with Direct & Indirect Heat
Grilling a tri-tip roast is a two-step process using both direct and indirect heat. This simple cooking technique is ideal for thicker cuts of meat that might burn if grilled directly. You want your roast to cook evenly throughout for the perfect doneness with a juicy center and a great crust.
3. Sear Roast over Direct Heat
A nice, hard sear over direct heat will give your roast a perfect brown crust. Sear the roast over the flames for about 90 seconds per side until you see a nice crust form. Don’t forget to also sear the sides for larger cuts of meat.
4. Finish Cooking with Indirect Heat
After searing, move the tri-tip roast to indirect heat to finish cooking. The indirect heat will slowly bring the roast to your desired temperature and ensure the meat cooks evenly inside and out. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the roast and remove from the grill at 5 degrees below your target temperature.
5. Rest Roast 5-10 Minutes
After cooking, it’s important to let your tri-tip roast rest 5-10 minutes under tented foil before slicing. Resting meat allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more tender, juicy bite.
6. Slice Against the Grain to Serve
The tri-tip roast grain goes in two different directions. Start by cutting the roast in the half where the grains intersect. Then, slice each section against the grain for best results. Serve in your favorite recipes or with a potato side dish and a decadent dessert for an incredible meal. Enjoy!
