Tri Tip Marinade Recipe (Plus Tri Tip in the Oven - Oven Roasted Tri Tip)

FOR THE TRI TIP MARINADE

1. Whisk all of the tri tip marinade ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Place the tri tip roast into a large baggie and pour in the marinade. Alternatively, you can use a large bowl. Massage the marinade into the meat and seal (or cover). Refrigerate and marinate the tri tip for at least 8 hours, or overnight. (You can marinate for 1 hour and still get good flavor penetration).

COOKING TRI TIP IN THE OVEN

1. Remove the tri tip from the fridge and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
2. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast iron pan or skillet to medium-high heat. Remove the tri tip from the marinade. Keep the marinade for a sauce later, or discard it.
4. Sear the tri tip roast 4-5 minutes per side to achieve a nice crust. Transfer the tri tip to a rack covered baking sheet, or use a roasting pan with a rack.
5. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes (10-15 minutes per pound) to your preferred doneness. You'll want 125-130 degrees F internal temperature when measured with a meat thermometer for rare, or 130-140 degrees F for medium-rare. 
6. Rest for 10 minutes to redistribute the juices, covered, then slice against the grain and serve.
