The dish itself is tender and flavorful, with a rich, beefy taste that’s enhanced by the marinade and the slow cooking process. My kids love it when I serve it with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, but you can also serve it with rice or noodles if you prefer.

🥘Ingredients

For the Beef

2 tbsp honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried rosemary

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2Mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl.
3Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the tri tip roast, ensuring all sides are well coated.
4In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and dried rosemary to create the marinade.
5Place the seasoned tri tip in a roasting pan and pour the marinade over the meat.
6Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
7Drizzle the olive oil over the tri tip to help achieve a nice sear.
8Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven.
9Roast the tri tip for 10 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
10Continue roasting for an additional 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
11Remove the tri tip from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
