Equipment

1 roasting pan with rack
1 small mixing bowl to blend spices
cutting board
measuring utensils/knives
meat thermometer

Ingredients

1 2 lb tri tip roast can use other weights, but cook time will vary.
1 tbsp cooking tallow to grease pan. Or use butter, oil, etc.

Spice Rub

2 tbsp kosher salt
2 tsp maldon salt
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) to taste
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
OR use our farmers blend spice rub optional in place of regular spices

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the spices to create a rub. Or use our farmers blend spice rub.
Remove the tri tip from any packaging and rub the spices into the roast. Note, that if you have a larger or smaller tri tip roast you may need more/less rub. If there is a fat cap on the tri tip, trim it if needed and score the cap to really rub the spices into the roast.
After rubbing the spices in, let the roast rest at room temperature for about 45 minutes if possible. This creates more even cooking.
Preheat oven to 250 F. Heat a large skillet on medium high heat- grease with cooking tallow, butter or oil. Sear each side of the roast for about 3 minutes per side.
Then, transfer the roast onto the roasting pan. Bake the roast uncovered for approximately 30-45 minutes until done to your liking. Check temp with meat thermometer. I prefer the internal temp of the thickest area of the roast to be 140-150 F for a 'medium' or 'medium well' roast. This time to cook will vary widely on roast size, too.
Once removed from oven, let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain for optimal juiciness and tenderness. Slice thin.

Notes

Cooking times will vary, especially if roast size is different (this recipe based on 2 lb roast). Check temp frequently and don't overcook. Add another 10-15 minutes of extra cook time per lb over 2 lbs.
